It is important for the European Parliament to express an opinion on the revision of the Directive on Radioactive Waste. It is a sign of responsibility and maturity to be able to turn a blind eye to divergences on whether to maintain or phase out nuclear energy and to come up with an effective policy for burying nuclear waste. That is the first lesson to be learnt from today’s vote. Clearly, nuclear safety also means strengthening nuclear safety and security regulations in a post-Fukushima landscape. I particularly welcome the adoption of Amendments 124 and 130 which respectively call for the prohibition of the installation of nuclear waste management facilities in seismic or coastal regions which are at risk and the preparation of a safety case to accompany any radioactive waste management activity. It remains to be hoped that the European Energy Ministers will pay heed to this strong message in favour of a safety culture. This inevitably requires priority to be given to deep burying solutions, such as permanent storage in dry rock or permanent storage in deep cavities (3 000 to 5 000 metres deep), which are still being examined. I also welcome recourse in the last resort to the transport of highly radioactive waste."@en1
