The IAEA approved a nuclear safety plan

On September 13, the Board of Directors of the 35-member International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) approved a global action plan to enhance nuclear safety after the incident at Fukushima nuclear plant No. 1. of Japan 6 months ago.

The 8-page plan was made by the IAEA Director General, Yukiya Amano.

Previously, this document was controversial and disagreeable among countries, with Germany, France, Switzerland, Singapore, Canada and Denmark on the one hand - those seeking strong international commitments. more, and the United States, India, China and Pakistan on the other side want nuclear safety as a matter of each nation and restrict international inspection teams.

To neutralize disagreements between the two groups of countries, the IAEA has adjusted some of the criteria in the plan, focusing on encouraging voluntary measures.

According to the IAEA, although Germany has decided to close all its nuclear power plants by 2022 and Italy has adopted a referendum to ban nuclear energy development for decades to come, now 29 countries are still using nuclear power. The number of developing countries will increase by 25 countries by 2030.
