International Relations

Background

We recognise that whilst some of our decommissioning challenges are unique there are opportunities for research collaborations on decommissioning with international nuclear organisations such as International Atomic Energy Agency or Nuclear Energy Agency and organisations with similar remit to NDA in other countries.
