Introduction

Nuclear (un-) safety will be on many European political agendas in the next months 
or even years. Over the last years, the countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) 
have been standing in line to gain access to the European Union. At present the EU is 
composed of 15 countries. But 11 countries (10 CEE countries and Cyprus) are set to 
join the EU in the coming decades. By seeking admission, they hope to have access 
to EU financial aid for poorer regions, to get money to develop their industries and 
to gain access to the European Union single market. The principles and conditions for 
accession are described in the so-called Agenda 2000 which also contains some 
words on nuclear safety.

After the disaster of Chernobyl in 1986 everybody - including the nuclear sector
and politicians - said that all unsafe reactors in Eastern Europe and the former 
Soviet Union had to be shut down. But this did not happen. At the moment 50 Soviet 
designed reactors are in operation in the CEE countries and NIS (New Independent 
States; the former Soviet Union). The West is divided about which action to follow. 
It has an inconsistent policy.
