- Directs the Nuclear Energy Safety Commission to establish minimum guidelines on the safe operation of each class and type nuclear reactor facility within member nations,
- Further directs the Nuclear Disaster Response Organization to provide funding and assistance to nations whom experience a catastrophic incident within a nuclear reactor facility, to protect the surrounding populace from the harmful effects of such incident.
- Clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to utilize nuclear reactors for scientific and energy production purposes, nor denying members nations the right to further restrict the use of nuclear reactor technology,
- Further clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall apply to mobile reactors used for the propulsion or energy requirements of commissioned vessels under the control of member nation armed forces.
