Prevent and anticipate through transparency and participation
Nuclear Transparency Watch (NTW) is a European citizen network of organisations and members dedicated to giving access to information on nuclear safety issues, Radioactive Waste (RW) being an important issue of short and long term safety, NTW is following this subject since its beginnings.
One major contribution of NTW to this topic is the “Broad Framework for Effective Public Information and Participation in Environmental Decision-making in Radioactive Waste Management” or BEPPER report (2015) which is the extended report made by the same authors for the European Commission on transparency within radioactive waste management.
🔎 NTW members are continuously working nationally (with local partners) as well as internationally (under the frame of the European Commission with the EURAD research program) on this topic. Therefore, in order to update and share information a webinar series was launched in 2023 to report on 9 national cases presented by NGOs representatives from each country.
Today, Monday 13 March is an important date in the evolution of the IRSN dismantling project decided by the French government early February, in fact IRSN more united than ever is demonstrating again today against this decision considered rushed and unjustified.
Initiation of a constitutional amendment procedure in the European Union seems increasingly likely due to the positions on treaty reform of the European Parliament, the European Commission, France and Germany as well as other EU member states. The aim of the webinar is to discuss the need of reform or abolishment of the Euratom Treaty and how EU’s constitutional framework could look like if it included mechanisms for an efficient and timely green energy transition.
Time: February 20th, 3-4 PM, CET.

On 29-30 June 2015, the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG) has organised its third conference on nuclear safety, which took place at the European Commission in Brussels. The role of ENSREG is to help to establish conditions for continuous improvement and common understanding in nuclear safety and radioactive waste management.
This year, NTW’s members have been invited as speakers. Discover the videos of Michèle Rivasi, Jan Haverkamp, Nadja Zeleznik and the EU Commissioner, Miguel Arias Canete, who welcomed the EP&R report of NTW and stated the European Commission’s willingness to work closely with the civil society.
