Nuclear safety and security
The Norwegian Government’s Action Plan 2025–2030
Plans/strategy | Date: 22/12/2025 | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Norwegian Government’s Action Plan for Nuclear Safety and Security (Nuclear Action Plan) has provided the basis for this cooperation since 1995. The Action Plan has been revised at regular intervals to ensure that it remains fit for purpose. This is the sixth time the Action Plan has been revised. Norway’s Nuclear Action Plan has been an integral part of the Nansen Support Programme for Ukraine since 2023.
Norway’s international efforts to promote nuclear safety and security started in the 1990s, in the wake of the Cold War and the Chornobyl accident, when it became possible to establish project cooperation with the countries of the former Soviet Union.
The Nuclear Action Plan is designed to ensure political backing for and continuity in Norway’s cooperation on nuclear safety and security and to provide guidelines for the cooperation for the coming years. There is broad political consensus on the priorities and focus of our cooperation in this area. The present Nuclear Action Plan covers the period 2025–2030.
