HomeResilience of the nuclear sector in Europe in the face of pandemic risks
Final report
Közzétételi metaadat
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on the functioning of our societies and economies. Like any other sector, the nuclear industry had to adapt to these sudden new constraints and implement long-term strategies to ensure the continuous supply of electricity and radionuclides. From the early spread of COVID-19 in Europe to the latest and successive pandemic waves, the nuclear industry has been successful (so far) in maintaining an uninterrupted supply, demonstrating the overall resilience of the sector. The intrinsic specificities of nuclear industry (risk assessment and safety culture, emergency preparedness and response, worker health monitoring, radiation protection, etc.) contributed considerably to limiting the impact of the pandemic on the sector. Some weaknesses appeared during the crisis, and the report proposes several recommendations for improving the overall resilience of nuclear industry against similar events. Yet, future pandemics or major external threats could differ in terms of impacts on the different assets (political, human, financial or physical) needed to ensure safe, secure and sustainable operation of nuclear installations, some of them having a broader scope than the nuclear industry alone. Lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis should therefore be used to continue developing the ability to reinforce the resilience of the nuclear sector, through European and international collaboration at industry and regulatory levels.
