The European Commmission adopted on the 3 November 2010 proposals for safety standards for disposing spent fuel and radioactive waste from nuclear power plants as well as from medicine or research. In the proposal for a Directive put forward, Member States are asked to present national programmes, indicating when, where and how they will construct and manage final repositories aimed at guaranteeing the highest safety standards. With the Directive internationally agreed safety standards become legally binding and enforceable in the European Union. |
