I am speaking about nuclear safety in a broad sense. We mean not only protection from the accidents. It is also necessary to have the protection from harmful effects of radioactive materials and hazardous radiation. Nuclear safety requirements cover both fuel and energy production, as well as waste reprocessing, transportation and storage. The modern perception of nuclear safety requires to consider it in global dimension.
Nuclear safety is indivisible as the air to breath with.
We could not ensure it separately, without international cooperation. This terra reflects both the essence and the novelty of deliberations at the Moscow meeting. It is only if we accept the values of nuclear safety culture we can make a conscious, balanced and realistic choice of the strategy for the power development. Russia proposes for discussion a concrete plan of safety enhancement. Broad international cooperation in developing, construction and operating of new safe and economically viable nuclear power plants.
