Nuclear Safety In The Ukraine And The European Bank For Reconstruction And Development
EDM number 564 in 1998-99, proposed by David Chaytor on 20/04/1999.
That this House notes the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's plans to fund completion of two partially constructed Soviet-designed reactors in the Ukraine, reactor No. 2 at Khmelnitsky and reactor No. 4 at Rovno, known collectively as K2/R4; is concerned that with the forthcoming 13th anniversary of the notorious Chernobyl disaster the Bank accepts that the completed reactors would not meet western European nuclear safety standards; is concerned that the proposal does not meet the Bank's own investment criteria; notes that the project should be the least cost solution; further notes that no environmental impact assessment has been carried out under Ukrainian law; and calls on the Government to support the German Bundestag in withholding support for the proposal pending a new investigation into non-nuclear options in the Ukraine.
This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
