UK industry welcomes clarity on Euratom R&D

UK industry welcomes clarity on Euratom R&D: The UK's Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) has welcomed confirmation of the government's intention to seek associate status to Euratom R&D programmes. NIA chief executive Tom Greatrex stressed however that this is just one part of the current Euratom framework, and progress in replicating other vital areas is still needed before the UK leaves the treaty, as part of its exit from the European Union, in March 2019.
