ENER/D3/2020-777 Resilience of the Nuclear Sector in Europe in the Face of Pandemic Risks

closed

Taking account of the individual circumstances of the European countries (EU-27+CH, UK), this study aims to analyse the near-term and longer-term impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on the European nuclear sector (covering all existing nuclear fuel cycle facilities, research facilities) and the preparedness and recovery actions taken by the owners, operators, regulators, and national authorities to ensure their safe, continued operation.Against the background of the financial shock to the global economy, it will identify potential impacts on key suppliers, possible knock-on effects on the nuclear sector from other industries, and actions and investments needed at national and EU-level to support the resilience of the sector, maintain security of supply for the nuclear fuel cycle and its potential to sustain jobs and steer recovery activities in the longer term.
