25 International Cooperation - IAEA Conferences 25

26 International Cooperation - USA Nuclear Forensics regional project Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan (EU-2.2 M ) Track radioactive materials seized at borders Development of basic analysis capabilities Communication network and procedure Ukraine will be the regional point with advanced analysis capabilities (for all countries) EU contribution USA is caring complementary research and training projects Participation of STCU (Ukraine) and JRC Karlsruhe 26

27 Summary Increased safety measures worldwide (incl. FSU countries) Essential factor for EU projects is the effective collaboration between Beneficiary/End Users EC Consultant (Contractors) Main reference for EU projects are EU legislation and best practice and IAEA standards Increased international cooperation (e.g. EU and IAEA) Work still required and planned to be implemented in period 27
