Euratom Exit Factsheet Nuclear Cooperation AgreementNuclear Cooperation Agreement • June 18th, 2018
Contract Type FiledJune 18th, 2018An NCA is a legally binding, bilateral Agreement negotiated between two States (or international bodies, such as Euratom) setting out their intention to, and framework for, cooperating in the civil nuclear sector. NCAs provide a high-level framework for cooperation, but are not a requirement for trade in civil nuclear materials, equipment or technology with most countries. NCAs can also facilitate responsible exports, but do not negate the need for export licences. Every NCA is different and is negotiated on a case- by-case basis. These agreements allow states to formally recognise their willingness to co-operate with each other on civil nuclear matters. NCAs do not normally commit either side to undertake any specific activity.
