More than a fifth of EU’s electricity is generated by nuclear power. The European Commission has since 1957 – through Euratom - supported Member States’ nuclear cooperation to make sure that the power produced is safe for all. Nuclear technology is constantly evolving, especially in the field of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which could offer a low-carbon alternative to fossil-fuelled power plants and complement renewable energy production.
