The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the JRC’s Institute for Energy (IE) strengthened their ongoing collaboration yesterday with the official signing of a ‘Practical Arrangement’ which will allow both partners to further develop scientific and technical co-operation in the fields of nuclear safety, nuclear technology and energy planning issues.

In practical terms this will result in increased support of JRC-IE to the IAEA, enhanced co-operation and co-ordination of their mutual activities in the field of energy policy support.
