This objective is achieved through the provision of expert support to the European Commission and the involved Ministries and State Agencies of Ukraine. In undertaking its responsibilities, the JSO works in direct cooperation and maintains excellent working relations with all Beneficiaries, End-Users, Contractors, and other key stakeholders of the INSC Programme for Ukraine.

The JSO’s mission is to provide a continued contribution to sustainable improvement within the nuclear sector of Ukraine, through adherence to the principle objectives of INSC, namely:

• the promotion of an effective nuclear safety and radiation protection culture and implementation of the highest nuclear safety and radiation protection standards, and continuous improvement of nuclear safety, including the promotion of transparency of authorities in non-EU countries in decision making processes relating to the safety of nuclear installations;
• responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste and the decommissioning and remediation of former nuclear sites and installations, including the promotion of transparency of authorities in non-EU countries in decision making processes;
• establishing efficient and effective safeguards for nuclear material in non-EU countries.
