The Nuclear Suppliers Group Report 1.

1. Summary of Discussions in the Committee In the first day of the conference the committee has discussed in formal debate: The Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by natural disasters - an earthquake and tsunami which are unpredictable; these caused technical malfunctioning in the reactor which led to the accident. The situation further escalated due to the lack of dissemination of information, mismanagement and lack of coordination between the Japanese government and the nuclear regulatory bodies. Causes of nuclear reactor disasters as discussed in the committee are as follows: Lack of efficient security systems Inefficiency of power back up system Possibility of a cyber attack Possibility of corruption in licensing of the nuclear power plant and the raw materials Technical and managerial incapability Inappropriate site location Threat of terrorist attacks on the nuclear reactors Improper management of unused nuclear material and improper disposal of spent fuel The committee discussed strengthening the mandate of the International Atomic Energy Agency, encouraging increased transparency, increased cooperation and encouraging countries to be part of the Comprehensive Safeguard Agreements and the additional protocols.

2. Recommendations to Member Nations Requests member nations to create a more diversified and widened communication and database management related to nuclear material and power plants Suggests member nations to improve technologies and research of alternative design for construction of nuclear plant Encourages member nations to provide disaster management training in case of a nuclear plant disaster Recommends comprehensive monitoring and regular testing to detect equipment failures

3. Recommendations to International Bodies Recommends international bodies to reinforce the role of national and international nuclear regulatory bodies Recommends International Atomic Energy Agency to verify again the license of existing power plants to ensure that they comply with the new policies Recommends International Atomic Energy Agency to review the political situation in countries which are entering in a new nuclear bilateral agreement as the use of nuclear reactors by nations which are politically unstable can lead to the nuclear power falling in wrong hands
