Description
This opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Arms Control and Nonproliferation (Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund), seeks proposals to develop and implement a program of cooperation with Türkiye on the development, procurement, deployment, and operation of its civil nuclear energy infrastructure. The program aims to counter nuclear proliferation and security threats, as well as nonproliferation-related hazards associated with Türkiye’s selection of non-U.S. reactors and supply chains, and potential Turkish interest in nuclear cooperation with non-U.S. companies.
The grant supports two primary lines of effort:
- Civil Nuclear Regulatory and Licensing Best Practice Exchange: Facilitate exchange of regulatory best practices and support Türkiye’s regulatory framework for civil nuclear technologies.
- Civil Nuclear Financing Options Development: Advise Turkish nuclear stakeholders on financing models and strategies for nuclear energy projects.
Additional activities may include capacity-building workshops, technical advisory services, and stakeholder engagement tailored to Türkiye’s needs.
