Focus-Association for Sustainable Development organised in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, on December 2 2013 a conference on »Nuclear Energy and Public Participation.
In his videotaped contribution the director of Slovene regulatory body (Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration) Andrej Stritar presented activities of the Administration to inform the public and his view on expertise regarding seismological assessments of the site carried out in order to assess its adequacy to build new NPP. IRSN as one of the partners in consortium of 4 expert institutions involved in the assessment requested additional site investigations of the nearby geological fault Libna that in IRSN opinion might present a potential threat for safe operation of a nuclear power plant. In spite of consensus of the involved experts that the nature of the treat does not represent immediate risks to operation of NPP Krško the administration decided to publish all relevant documents regarding site assessment for the new NPP in order to avoid any accusations of having biased position on the issue.
