Nuclear Safety

This information documentary tells about the nuclear safety and emergency preparedness and response at Bulgarian and Romanian nuclear power plants.  The film examines which improvements are achieved due to the IAEA Regional Excellence Programme on Safe Nuclear Energy in the two countries. The film was planned well before the unexpected accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants in Japan and the subsequent emergency response has brought nuclear safety to the worlds attention. In the light of such extraordinary events, a level 9 earthquake and followed by a devastating tsunami, it is easy to overlook the continuous work that is carried out to ensure an high degree of safety at the worlds 463 power generating nuclear reactors. The IAEA is coordinating and implementing safety principles, assessment and emergency preparedness with national nuclear authorities and operators all over the world to promote the production of nuclear power to be as safe as possible.
