These Directives obligate countries to report periodically on the subject matter of the Directive and to participate in peer reviews and implement the development recommendations made.

According to the Nuclear Safety Directive, EU Member States must arrange nuclear safety peer reviews at least every six years. The purpose of this procedure is to share experiences and identify opportunities to further develop nuclear safety in the EU. 
The first peer review on the ageing management at nuclear facilities was carried out in 2017. The second peer review will focus on fire protection and took place in 2023.
