BRUSSELS — European Union leaders called for worldwide stress testing of nuclear plants Friday and committed to putting their 143 reactors through the toughest security checks possible.
France, one of the nations most reliant on nuclear energy, with 58 reactors, said it would close a plant if it failed a test.
At the end of a two-day summit, the EU nations agreed to submit their nuclear plants to tough safety tests by year- end and promised to heed the lessons from the accident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex.
