(4a) Notwithstanding the potential impact of nuclear energy on energy supply and economic development, severe nuclear accidents, nuclear proliferation and malevolent acts including nuclear terrorism may have the potential to endanger human health. Therefore, nuclear safety and, where appropriate, security aspects should be given the greatest possible attention in the Euratom Programme. Attention must also be paid to third countries that border the Union and cross-border aspects of nuclear safety that underline the Union's added value.
