ENSREG’s aims

ENSREG’s aims are to maintain and further improve the:

  • Safety of nuclear installations in the EU
  • Safety of the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste in the EU
  • Financing of the decommissioning of nuclear installations in the EU

The fundamental principle of ENSREG’s work is that there should be continuous improvement in nuclear safety. Striving for continuous improvement is a vital safeguard against complacency in this important area.  ENSREG also aims to develop a common understanding among European nuclear safety regulators concerning the safety of nuclear installations and spent fuel and radioactive waste management.

How does ENSREG operate?

ENSREG has established three working groups to undertake its work programme.  The working groups meet as necessary and report back to ENSREG, which meets at least twice a year.

ENSREG is due to submit a report on its activities to the EU Commission in July 2009 for onward transmission to the European Parliament and the Council.  Thereafter, it must submit a report at least every two years.

Documents from ENSREG are available on ENSREG and CIRCA websites.
