PRESIDENT VON DER LEYEN AND COMMISSIONERS TO TAKE PART IN NUCLEAR ENERGY SUMMIT
AND EVENTS ON NUCLEAR RESEARCH AND SMALL MODULAR REACTORS

This week the Commission will participate in a series of events dedicated to the
role of nuclear energy in reaching the EU's climate neutrality, competitiveness
and energy security objectives.  

Tomorrow, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will deliver remarks at the 
Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels, co-organised by the Belgian Government and
the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). She will speak during the morning
session with Heads of State and Government and her remarks can be followed live
on EbS. The Summit will highlight the role of nuclear energy in enabling the
phaseout of fossil fuels, enhancing energy security and boosting economic
development through innovation, sustainability and competitiveness.  In the
afternoon, Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson will participate in a panel
discussion on global and regional perspectives on nuclear energy. In the margins
of the Summit, the Commissioner will hold a series of bilateral meetings,
including with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), Rafael Grossi; the UK's Minister for Nuclear and Renewables, Andrew
Bowie; and the United Arab Emirates' Minister for Energy and Infrastructure H.E.
Suhail Al Mazrouei.

This afternoon Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson will participate at the
meeting of the European Nuclear Safety Regulators (ENSREG). She will deliver a
speech on key policy and regulatory developments in nuclear energy to underline
EU's commitment to highest standards for nuclear safety and safeguards.

Also today, Commissioner Ivanova will participate in a side event on the role of
the Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) in nuclear science and technology.
The event presents the main JRC achievements in nuclear research over the last
60 years and its role in fostering the safe and secure development of both power
and non-power nuclear applications in Europe. It also emphasises the continued
need for nuclear research in Europe and how the JRC can play a central role to
meet this need.  

On Friday (22 March) Commissioners Kadri Simson, Thierry Breton and Iliana
Ivanova will speak at a high-level conference to advance work on the new
European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors. A call for membership
applications for the Alliance is open until 12 April. The SMR Alliance aims to
facilitate and accelerate the development, demonstration and deployment of
small-scale nuclear technologies in Europe by the early 2030s.
