Guidance on the applicability of the Convention to the lifetime extension of nuclear power plants

The Guidance on the Applicability of the Convention to the Lifetime Extension of Nuclear Power Plants was prepared by an ad hoc working group co-chaired by Germany and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as mandated by the Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (ECE/MP.EIA/27/Add.1–ECE/MP.EIA/SEA/11/Add.1, decision IS/2, para. 9), and reflecting the comments made by the Working Group on Environmental Impact Assessment and Strategic Environmental Assessment at its ninth meeting (Geneva, 24–26 August 2020) (ECE/MP.EIA/2020/9).

At its eighth session (Vilnius (online), 8–11 December 2020), the Meeting of the Parties to the Convention endorsed the Guidance, as amended, through its decision VIII/6. The publication contains decision VIII/6 and the Guidance, as endorsed and edited, in English, French and Russian.
