CONFERENCE "Mochovce NPP - Current Situation in the Slovak Republic", held 3 and 4 April, 1997, in Bratislava Final Resolution Bratislava, 4 April, 1997 Statement: The participating members of parliament will join pan-European initiatives in order to phase out nuclear energy utilization and finance phase-out scenarios to improve nuclear safety. Moreover, co-operation between the members of parliament of the individual countries and national organizations will be intensified. At the same time, they will advocate the total phase-out of nuclear energy in their respective national parliaments. While only 3 nuclear reactors are currently under construction in Western Europe, more than 15 reactors are being built in Central and Eastern Europe. Western enterprises active in the sector regard this region as a potential market. The profits from these transactions go to those countries whose enterprises provide the relevant technologies, while the states concerned have to bear both financial burdens and major security risks. The population of the Slovak Republic disposes of almost no information on energy problems. This is particularly true of the public discussion of the Mochovce NPP project and the Slovak Energy Concept. The high information level regarding the German power plant project Greifswald has for instance entailed the discontinuance and dismantling of the Greifswald NPP, a sister plant of Mochovce, due to its insufficient safety level and too cost-intensive updating requirements. The licensing process for the Mochovce NPP does not correspond to international standards due to principal modifications of the project necessitated by the hybridization of Western and Eastern technologies (environmental impact assessment, public participation). The conference participants - members of the Slovak, German and Austrian parliaments as well as independent experts and NGO representatives - call upon the government of the Slovak Republic as follows: 1. The public is to be informed of the year in which the government plans to discontinue the utilization of nuclear energy in the Slovak Republic. 2. The public is to be informed of the Slovak government's concept for the use of alternative energy sources and the reduction of energy intensity. In particular, at least one scenario which is predominantly based on DSM measures and co-generation and compared with the Mochovce completion project shall be developed.
