About us

The Joint Support Office (JSO) was first established for the Management of the Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation in Ukraine by the European Commission at Kyiv, in December 2004.

Considering the wider aspects of the Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation (INSC) between January 2007 and 2020, and the new European Instrument for International Nuclear Safety Cooperation, as well as developments within the Ukrainian nuclear sector, the JSO continues to play a major instrumental role in achieving the programme objectives of the EC and its Ukrainian Partners.

The JSO provides direct support to the EC and its Ukrainian Partners, in the identification, preparation and implementation of oversight of EU funded projects in Ukraine.

The primary objective of the JSO is to support the promotion of an effective nuclear safety culture in Ukraine in line with the principles of the IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety and in compliance with the provisions of the EURATOM Treaty.
