Role: Maintain a regular and secure supply of nuclear material (ores, source material and special fissile material) for all EU users. The Agency – officially the Supply Agency of the European Atomic Energy Community – was created by the Euratom Treaty. It is also called the Euratom Supply Agency (ESA).
In the interest of its Treaty missions, the Supply Agency’s statutes entrust it with a market observatory role. In particular, ESA has a duty to monitor the market in order to identify trends likely to affect the Union’s security of supply of nuclear materials and services.
The new Rules, adopted by the Agency on 15 January 2021 and approved by the Commission on 29 April 2021, aim to respond to these needs by taking into account new market realities and the Agency’s tasks. They also aim to increase legal certainty in the interests of the industry, the Euratom Member States, ESA and the Commission.
To implement the Euratom programme, the JRC developed its first two-year work programme 2021-2022, which was adopted on 4 June 2021. It is structured according to five project portfolios, which are aligned with the Commission’s priorities: nuclear energy for energy transition
