Euratom Supply Agency annual report 2022

For nuclear material supply, the year 2022 saw materialisation of the most critical risks in decades. In circumstances that went beyond any scenario that had been considered, the Euratom Supply Agency demonstrated its pivotal role in ensuring security of supply, using both its legal prerogatives and soft powers. Following the war of aggression in Ukraine and the use of energy as a hybrid threat, Russia could no longer be considered a reliable partner. In a radically and suddenly changed context, the Agency was at the forefront of efforts to prevent shortages in the nuclear fuel and medical radioisotope supply chains and thus to protect EU citizens and businesses.
