About

Nuclear for Good is an interdisciplinary movement of policy experts, academics, private sector technologists, nuclear regulators, and international development professionals.

We share the belief that nuclear science and technologies have a crucial and underutilised role in making progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We aim to:

• Facilitate the uptake of peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology by enabling decision-makers to make informed decisions on the adoption of these technologies;
• Build a wider understanding of the ability of nuclear science and technologies to contribute to progress on the SDGs;
• Bring together communities from various backgrounds including nuclear science, nuclear non-proliferation, international development, and industry;
• Promote and complement the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and ensure awareness of nuclear safety and security to prevent proliferation and to avoid accidents;
• Contribute to progress on Pillar II and Pillar III of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) by better enabling the fulfilment of States Parties’ obligations and improving accessibility of peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology for States Parties.

The first Nuclear for Good tool is the Nuclear Technology Database. This needs-orientated, living database is a one-stop shop containing reliable and objective information on peaceful applications of nuclear science and technologies, their ability to contribute to progress on the SDGs, their applications, their level of technological readiness, relevant techniques, and relevant IAEA case studies.

The initiative is a project by BASIC and was made possible by the generous support and funding of the Government of the United Kingdom.
