Standardisation And Harmonisation ‘Vital’ In Bid To Improve Competitiveness :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Standardisation And Harmonisation ‘Vital’ In Bid To Improve Competitiveness :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Standardisation and harmonisation will play a key role as the nuclear sector addresses the challenge of improving its competitiveness, the new president of Brussels-based industry group Foratom said.



Esa Hyvärinen, who took up the role on 1 January, said the European nuclear industry is already working on “developing concrete solutions” with regard to standardisation and harmonisation.



One key area is the harmonisation of nuclear safety requirements across the bloc’s regulators as a prerequisite for the potential approval of standard nuclear power plant designs in more than one country.
