3 priorities stand out: unlock investment, process more minerals locally and increase tax revenues.

The Steering Committee of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has supported the launch of the process for Ukraine’s accession to the NEA.

The next step will be an assessment mission by the Agency to analyze Ukraine’s nuclear sector, our technical capabilities, and our institutional and legal framework. Based on the results of this mission and subsequent decisions by member states, Ukraine could become the next member of the @OECD_NEA.

I had the honor of addressing the meeting participants and presenting Ukraine’s vision for future cooperation with the Agency. I am grateful to OECD Secretary-General @MathiasCormann and NEA Director-General William Magwood for their support of Ukraine and for facilitating our path toward membership.

Joining the NEA is a significant step toward full @OECD membership, European integration, and the implementation of the highest nuclear safety standards. Future membership will enable Ukraine to participate more actively in the activities of expert committees and working groups, deepen scientific and technical cooperation, and advance research and the training of specialists.

At the same time, Ukraine is prepared to contribute to the Agency’s work. We possess a robust nuclear energy sector, well-developed infrastructure, experienced engineers and scientists, and extensive expertise in the operation and modernization of nuclear power plants, nuclear safety, radioactive waste management, and the development of advanced technologies.

Furthermore, we possess unique experience in operating a nuclear energy system amidst a full-scale war. This experience could prove valuable to the international community regarding crisis preparedness and risk management. Ukraine is ready to undergo the necessary assessment process, fulfill its obligations, and become an active and responsible member of the NEA community.

Керівний комітет Агентства з ядерної енергії ОЕСР підтримав запуск процесу приєднання України до NEA.

Наступним кроком стане оціночна місія Агентства, яка проаналізує ядерний сектор України, наші технічні спроможності, а також інституційну та правову базу. За результатами місії та подальших рішень держав-членів Україна може стати наступним членом NEA.

Мав честь звернутися до учасників засідання та представити бачення України щодо подальшої роботи з Агентством. Вдячний генеральному секретарю ОЕСР Матіасу Корманну та генеральному директору NEA Вільяму Магвуду за підтримку України та сприяння нашому руху до членства.

Приєднання до NEA — важливий крок у напрямку повноправного членства в ОЕСР, європейської інтеграції та впровадження найвищих стандартів ядерної безпеки. Майбутнє членство дасть Україні змогу активніше долучатися до роботи експертних комітетів і робочих груп, поглиблювати науково-технічну співпрацю, розвивати дослідження та підготовку фахівців.

Водночас Україна готова робити власний внесок у роботу Агентства. Маємо потужний ядерно-енергетичний сектор, розвинену інфраструктуру, досвідчених інженерів і науковців та значну експертизу в експлуатації та модернізації АЕС, ядерній безпеці, поводженні з радіоактивними відходами та розвитку перспективних технологій.

Окремо маємо унікальний досвід роботи ядерно-енергетичної системи в умовах повномасштабної війни. Він може бути корисним для міжнародної спільноти у питаннях кризової готовності та управління ризиками.

Україна готова пройти необхідний процес оцінювання, виконувати свої зобов’язання та стати активним і відповідальним членом спільноти NEA.
