“The confirmation of EAGLES-300 among the Alliance’s selected projects is an important acknowledgment of the progress of our programme. This renewed recognition, coming just after the launch of the international pre-licensing process, reinforces our commitment to bringing EAGLES-300 to market as a concrete milestone of European innovation and industrial capability.”
Roberto Adinolfi - Chairman EAGLES Steering Committee.

EAGLES-300 confirms progress and selection criteria

Led by Ansaldo Nucleare, ENEA, RATEN and SCK CEN, the project was first included in the Alliance’s initial shortlist in 2024 and now the assessment has confirmed that EAGLES-300 continues to fully meet the selection criteria and has made tangible progress since the previous evaluation.

This announcement follows another major milestone for the programme. During the IAEA’s 69th General Conference in Vienna, on 15 September, the international pre-licensing initiative for EAGLES-300 was formally launched as the first pilot project of the IAEA’s Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative (NHSI), marking a significant step toward regulatory harmonisation and more efficient cross-border licensing.
