The presentation by DG ENER E Director P. Szymanski gave an overview of EURATOM safeguards system, which is a worldwide reference. K. Luetzenkirchen, on behalf of JRC ITU Director T. Fanghaenel presented an overview of JRC activities in nuclear safeguards and security. After a presentation about Hungarian plans for new nuclear power plants, the plenary was closed by the summary of the ESARDA Reflection Group 2010 findings, by M. Richard, with a list of recommendations on how ESARDA should tackle the new non-proliferation challenges.
