BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 27. The European
Atomic energy Community (EURATOM) and the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) will expand cooperation on nuclear safety,
reports
with reference to the European Commission.
EURATOM and IAEA have signed a memorandum of understanding
updating the previous agreement from 2013.
Building on the extensive scientific and technological
co-operation developed over the past years, the two parties have
agreed to update the content of the MoU, extending activities to
include emerging areas of common interest, such as education and
training, small modular reactors and the safety of fusion
installations. The MoU also looks to further strengthen cooperation
in the areas of radiation safety, waste safety and emergency
preparedness and response.
The IAEA and EURATOM have developed extensive scientific and
technological co-operation over many years. A co-operation
agreement between the IAEA and EURATOM has been in force since 1
January 1976, providing a formal basis for collaboration between
the two organizations. This was extended in May 2008 with a Joint
Statement where both organizations agreed to examine concrete steps
to significantly reinforce the quality and intensity of their
cooperation.
On 17 September 2013, the two organizations signed a Memorandum
of Understanding, which was renewed twice.
