    Annual Report 2020

    ANNUAL REPORT 2020 1 Photo credits 2 Foreword On 1 June 1960, the newly established Supply Agency of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) started operations, ensuring that all users in the Community received a regular and equitable supply of ores and nuclear fuel. In 2020, the Agency celebrated 60 years of continued operations, demonstrating its resilience, its ability to adapt and its determination to modernise itself. When the COVID-19 crisis hit in March, we protected ESA’s most valuable asset: its staff. The lockdown united us in keeping the spirit of a common effort focused on the Agency’s core objectives and values. The transition to remote working was accompanied by introduction of new working methods, which allowed us to deliver in this challenging time on all the critical core processes: managing nuclear fuel contracts, facilitating the supply chain of medical radioisotopes and analysing market data. The meetings of the Advisory Committee and of the European Observatory on the Supply of Medical Radioisotopes, which were for the first time ever conducted in a remote format, enabled efficient communication and decision-making, as did many meetings with our partners and stakeholders. Our response to the limitations created by the coronavirus pandemic was to take it as an enforced opportunity to accelerate the adoption of new technologies to cut red tape. We expedited investment in the Noemi application that will, for years to come, securely host data from contracts for the supply of nuclear materials and related services. This new IT system will also greatly improve monitoring of the nuclear energy market and production of reports from aggregated data.

Eisenhower at the United Nations, Dec. 8, 1953, Over a period of about a decade after President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” speech, the U.S. and Soviet Union exported research reactors to about 40 countries. By the mid-1970s, most of these reactors were fueled with weapon-useable highly-enriched uranium (HEU), and most of those with weapon-grade uranium. In 1978, because of heightened concern about nuclear proliferation, both countries launched programs to develop low-enriched uranium (LEU) replacement fuel containing less than 20 percent 235U for foreign research reactors that they were supplying with HEU fuel. By the time the Soviet Union collapsed, most of the Soviet-supplied research reactors outside the USSR had been converted to 36% enriched uranium but the program then stalled because of lack of funding. By the end of 2003, the U.S. program had converted 31 reactors to LEU, including 11 within the U.S. If the development of very high density LEU fuel is successful, it appears that conversion of virtually all remaining research Received 12 January 2004; accepted 23 February 2004.
