Representatives of countries with expressed interest in the Joint Undertaking on Roadmaps to New Nuclear.

The NEA will create a new Joint Undertaking on Roadmaps to New Nuclear that will bring together like-minded countries to rebuild their capability to implement successful nuclear energy new build projects. To date 13 countries have expressed interest in the initiative, which will focus on addressing the most pressing issues in nuclear energy. These issues include nuclear finance, supply chain readiness and building a skilled and diverse workforce.

“The Joint Undertaking on Roadmaps to New Nuclear 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. “This collaborative framework 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 Joint Undertaking.
