Norway allocates NOK 500 million to strengthen nuclear safety in Ukraine

26 April marks 40 years since the Chornobyl disaster. Norway is increasing its support to Ukraine to prevent nuclear accidents and safeguard electricity production in the country. For 2026, NOK 500 million has been allocated for this purpose.

Ukraine is facing an extremely serious situation. Russia’s targeted attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure continue and are putting nuclear safety under severe pressure. We are therefore significantly scaling up Norwegian support. A nuclear incident could very quickly have major consequences. By strengthening nuclear safety and security in Ukraine, we are strengthening Europe’s security – and therefore also Norway’s security,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
