The European Nuclear Safety Regulatory Organization (ENSREG) and the European Commission (EC) failed to reach a consensus on the specification of stress tests for all nuclear power plants in the European Union.
ENSREG failed to reach consensus on the meeting held on March 12. This result is obvious because the parties involved differ in the scope of the test: whether the test should be limited to the most serious accidents caused by natural disasters, or include accidents caused by human factors, such as terrorist attacks.
In view of the impact of the Fukushima nuclear power accident in Japan, EU ministers decided in March to conduct a safety assessment of 143 nuclear reactors in Europe to ensure their safety. As an authoritative expert body, ENSREG has senior officials from national regulatory or nuclear safety authority organizations in all member states of the European Union. It and the European Commission are responsible for determining the scope and form of this test.
The stress test is based on the recommendations of the Western European Nuclear Regulatory Association (WENRA). The assessment is conducted by an independent national authority and is subject to peer review. According to ENSREG, stress testing means that a nuclear power plant needs to prove that it has enough backup power systems in the event of a power supply disruption. Moreover, nuclear power plants need to explain what happens to the nuclear power plant if the backup power system fails. Although there is no deadline for when the stress test will be carried out, the EU Commission plan should be based on the results of the national report and peer review, as presented in the interim report to the Council of the European Union on December 9, 2011. Afterwards, the EU Commissioner will propose amendments to European nuclear safety laws and regulations based on the 2012 stress test results.
The Financial Times and euractiv. According to relevant reports on the com website, the Brussels conference has been suspended because countries such as Britain and France insist that the testing scope should be limited to accidents caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. EU Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger has called for expanding the scope of stress testing to cover the widest range of issues.
According to a statement from the European Commission, the ENSREG will meet again in Prague from May 19th to 20th.
