Stress tests of Europe's nuclear power plants should be neutral to technology and need to ensure the levels of safety for all existing and new nuke plants within the European Union and neighbouring countries, Bulgaria's Energy Minister Traicho Traikov said during the 6th European Nuclear Energy Forum in Prague.
"Complying with the highest safety standards for nuclear power has a key role in the development of the sector after the accident at Fukushima. At the same time, the requirements should not be impossible to fulfill, as they could block the technological and commercial development of nuclear energy," he said.According to the Bulgarian Minister, Brussels needs to introduce uniform standards and rules for nuclear facilities construction in the bloc.
