Fukushima disaster majorly hit Japan following which members of the International Atomic Energy Agency in efforts to boost international nuclear safety standards passed a watered-down plan but Germany didn’t find the plan effective and expressed disappointment over same.

The agency’s board on Tuesday passed the plan, which was completed with certain measures like reviews and IAEA safety checks that were found efficient to prevent such accidents at one of the world’s roughly 430 nuclear reactors.

But Germany’s Chief IAEA representative post going through the plan said that the voluntary nature of the provisions is still a question and he didn’t find the plan effective enough to ensure nuclear safety at the global level.

Regarding the situation, IAEA Chief Yukia AmanoBildunterschrift said in a meeting of the IAEA’s 35-member board on Monday: “It is a matter of regret that the draft now before us does not fully meet our expectations. The IAEA and all its member states have to live up to their joint responsibility to ensure that nuclear technology is as safe as humanely possible”.

Germany also showed aggressive attitude upon the nuclear energy in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster in March and in context to which, it passed legislation in order to completely phase out the country’s nuclear plants by 2022.
