A new Euratom work program includes several areas to improve the safety of existing nuclear technologies and develop new ones. Ukraine has been an associate participant of the Euratom program since June 2022.
The participation of Ukrainian organizations in this program will increase the safety at Ukrainian nuclear power plants and will impact the introduction of new nuclear technologies in Ukraine.
Currently, 10 Ukrainian organizations are implementing projects within the framework of the Euratom program, with a total implementation budget of more than €2M. The new program for 2023-2025 provides for the allocation of €0.75M in additional funding for Ukraine for education, training, capacity building, and strengthening cooperation between Ukrainian and EU organizations.
