NO GLOWING REPORT: The EU Energy Commissioner says the cost of necessary improvements at the 145 nuclear reactors in the European Union could amount to billions over the coming years.

CORE CRITICISM: The report criticized authorities for not using appropriate standards to assess risks. For earthquakes and flooding, events over the past 10,000 years should be considered for risk to plants.

FALLOUT: At least (EURO)10 billion will need to be invested in the EU and possibly up to (EURO)25 billion to fix the problems at EU nuclear plants.
