Strengthening Egyptian nuclear safety and radioprotection regulatory infrastructure

The overall objective of the action is to contribute to an effective nuclear safety culture and standards for radiation and nuclear safety in Egypt, comparable with those in the European Union. The support to Egypt aims at strengthening the national nuclear regulatory authority, after Egypt joined the Convention on Nuclear Safety on 24 December 2023.
Support should target regulatory oversight and operational staff licensing, environmental monitoring, emergency preparedness and response and improving public communication. This cooperation project is aligned with the recent reaffirmation of the EU wish to cooperate with Egypt on energy.
