A quote:
The events in Fukushima had major implications for the nuclear industry. The human and economic effects of a nuclear disaster are beyond imagination and governments worldwide suddenly realized the risks. Everywhere nuclear power plants were subjected to stress tests and made Fukushima-proof. Due to higher safety requirements, new construction projects in France, the United States, Finland and Great Britain became more complicated and thus more expensive.
