Greece is a non-nuclear country and there are no plans in the foreseeable future to incorporate this form of energy.
The choice of energy strategy, and in particular the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation, is a national decision. However, the consequences of nuclear accidents know no borders.
The EEAE monitors developments at European and international level and, within the scope of its remit, represents the country in the relevant European and international forums. Furthermore, it ensures compliance with the contractual national obligations arising from our participation in these bodies. In this context, the EEAE participates in the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group – ENSREG) and in the review meetings relating to the Convention on Nuclear Safety.
At international level
At international level, nuclear safety lies at the heart of the remit of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The most important global instrument for monitoring the safe operation of nuclear facilities and facilitating the exchange of information between states is the International Convention on Nuclear Safety (Convention on Nuclear Safety).
MOREAt European level
At European level, the framework for the use of nuclear energy is the Euratom Treaty. The first EU Directive on nuclear safety was adopted in 2009 and amended in 2014.
