Bloc agrees to tighten safety rules at nuclear plants

摘要

The European Union has agreed to adopt stricter nuclear power plant regulations devised in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the European Commission said yesterday. The new rules are the product of a series of stress tests conducted at the bloc's nuclear reactors after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, which resulted in a response plan aimed at providing a higher standard of protection.
