Brussels Unveils Controversial EU Nuclear Stress Test Plans

摘要

The EU said Wednesday that new safety tests for Europe's 143 nuclear reactors to be carried out in the wake of the nuclear disaster in Japan will not specifically review the plants' ability to prevent terrorist attacks. Anti-nuclear Austria and Germany had pushed for the review, but European Energy Commissioner Gunther Oettinger said it would be beyond the capabilities of the nuclear regulators who will conduct the tests.
