Ministers and Heads of Delegations of countries that expressed interest in the signing a new co-operation agreement to pave the way for nuclear new build.
Thirteen countries thus far have expressed interest in joining a groundbreaking co-operative agreement to work together on projects that will pave the way for nuclear new build. This agreement will bring together like-minded countries to address pressing issues in nuclear energy, such as nuclear finance, supply chain readiness and building a skilled and diverse workforce.
“This new collaborative framework will allow us to turn the priorities identified by ministers and CEOs into practical actions to support the tripling of nuclear energy capacity by 2050,” said NEA Director-General William D. Magwood, IV. “It will advance international co-operation, foster strategic partnerships, and exchanges among governments and industry to more effectively deliver on the national priorities of the countries pursuing new nuclear capacity.”
The announcement was made during Roadmaps to New Nuclear on 19 September 2024 with Bulgaria, Canada, Czechia, France, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States expressing their interest in formally joining the agreement.
