Following the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in 2011, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mandated the performance of stress tests in every operating nuclear power plant worldwide. After evaluating the results, the Czech Republic’s State Office for Nuclear Safety issued directives to the operators of nuclear power plants for improving the safety of their facilities, including upgrading their emergency power capabilities.
