The Impact Assessment analyses four policy options : Policy option 0 consists in keeping the current situation unchanged; Policy option 1 envisages the elaboration of Community legislation establishing common safety standards for existing nuclear installations; Policy option 2 consists in the enacting Community legislation that sets up only a common framework aiming at achieving and maintaining a high uniform level of nuclear safety throughout the Community by recalling widely recognised nuclear safety principles, the subsequent implementing measures being elaborated by the HLG; Policy option 3 is built upon a set of internationally-recognised nuclear safety principles (approach proposed by Policy option 2), supplemented with additional ...[+++]safety requirements for new nuclear power reactors, which Member States are encouraged to develop in line with the principle of continuous improvement of safety, on the basis of the safety levels developed by WENRA and in close collaboration with the HLG.

2. As regards the safety of new nuclear power reactors Member States shall aim to develop additional safety requirements, in line with the continuous improvement of safety on the basis of the safety levels developed by the Western European Nuclear Regulators' Association (WENRA) and in close collaboration with the European High Level Group on Nuclear Safety and Waste Management.

Its basic approach is that a set of common principles in the field of nuclear safety, already included in the CNS, are regulated at Community level, supplemented with additional safety requirements for new nuclear power reactors, which Member States are encouraged to develop in line with the principle of continuous improvement of safety, on the basis of the safety levels developed by WENRA and in close collaboration with the European High Level Group on Nuclear Safety and Waste Management (HLG).

- Concepts to produce less waste: research will focus on exploring the potential for the more efficient use of fissile material in existing reactors and of other concepts to produce less waste in nuclear energy generation, primarily for the High Temperature Reactor (HTR), in particular with regard to power conversion systems for direct cycle, material properties in a high temperature helium environment, innovative fuel coatings, process heat applications and safety and licensing issues .

75. Stresses the importance of strong commitment on the part both of the candidate countries and of the EU in the field of environment and nuclear safety; recalls that nuclear power reactors of first generation Soviet design are considered as 'high risk' for Europe in general; urges the candidate countries to fulfil their obligations concerning their closure; is of the opinion that these nuclear reactors should be closed down at the latest by the time of accession; supports the Commission's plan for EU funding for scientific and technical cooperation to assist with the decommissioning of nucl ...[+++]ear facilities; acknowledges the need to provide social support for displaced workers; calls on international financial institutions as the EIB and the EBRD to provide multi-lateral strategic investment and bilateral financial assistance in the realisation of energy saving projects and the development of renewable energy sources in the candidate countries;
