Nuclear compliance assurance

Support to nuclear compliance assurance.

Contributes to European Commission priorities

Nuclear and other related EU and international legislation aims to protect the EU citizens, the environment and the industry and it is vital that the actions of both EU Member States and the Commission are fully compliant with this legislation.

Our goals:

  • Contribute with R&D, tools, techniques and training to the enhancement of compliance in the nuclear area, through improved use of data, competences, tools and methods.
  • Identify potential loopholes where additional legislative guidance or action are needed.
