Large-scale nuclear test facilities unique in Europe joined in an initiative to open their doors to transnational access. Scientists were thus able to address the few remaining priority safety issues for nuclear power plant operation under unparalleled prototype conditions.

Prevention is of critical importance when it comes to the safety of nuclear reactor operation. While severe accidents are highly unlikely, they are the subject of intense research due to the particularly hazardous nature of radioactive material release into the environment.
