Plant life exten-sion programmes in France, Japan, and the USA were described. Even though different types of nuclear plants are involved, these programmes are similar. They all
- Nuclear power plant safety, international safety standards | IAEANuclear power plants are among the safest and most secure facilities in the world. But accidents can happen, adversely affecting people and the environment. To minimize the likelihood of an accident, the IAEA assists Member States in applying international safety standards to strengthen nuclear power plant safety.
