About NucNet
A Unique News and Information Network
NucNet is a Brussels-based independent news agency and information network for the global nuclear industry. It is registered in Belgium as a non-governmental non-profit association (association sans but lucratif or a.s.b.l.).
NucNet operates a 24/7 service reporting nuclear-related news about the operation and construction of nuclear power stations, policies affecting the nuclear industry, nuclear safety and security, emerging nuclear technologies and the safe use of ionising radiation.
NucNet was created in 1990 with the support of the European Nuclear Society as a response to the growing need for accurate information about nuclear energy and ionising radiation. The aim was the same then as it is today: to focus on the facts behind the stories and to only publish information that has been verified by our editorial team.
