THE GOVERNMENT wants forthcoming stress tests on EU nuclear installations to include the Sellafield reprocessing plant in Cumbria, Minister for Energy Pat Rabbitte has said.<\/p>\n

At a special meeting to discuss the Fukushima nuclear emergency and the turmoil in the Arab world, the EU agreed yesterday that Europe\u2019s 143 reactors should be subject to new safety standards.<\/p>\n

Mr Rabbitte told reporters as the meeting broke up that the Government did not detect any resistance by London to the inclusion of Sellafield. \u201cThe Irish Government wishes that the stress tests that are going on will include Sellafield,?? he said. \u201cI have no reason to believe that there will be resistance. There\u2019s no evidence to that effect.??<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
