German-French Commission (DFK)
The German-French Commission on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (DFK) was founded in 1976 in an exchange of letters between the German Minister of the Interior, at the time responsible for nuclear safety and radiation protection issues, and the French Minister of Industry on cooperation in the areas of nuclear safety and radiation protection. The agreement arose due to the construction of nuclear power plants in the border regions of Germany and France and the resulting need for mutual information.
