Safe
Most Countries have Reaffirmed their Commitment to Nuclear Energy
> Nuclear Power and Offshore Wind - Alternative Energy Forum p.13
Reactions in UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Finland and The Netherlands
Nuclear energy plays a vital role
Conduct safety checks of installed base
Some delay in new build programs possible, but no plans to abandon new nuclear or stop construction
Strong, bi-partisan political support in the United States Reiterated safety of fleet and the opportunity to further
improve strong safety record Support continuation of the loan guarantee program Most utilities remain committed to new build plans
China Temporary suspension of approval of new plants; Safety
review underway
India confirmed that nuclear would continue
South Korea reviewing existing plants
