Nuclear supply chain forms integral part of European economy

Brussels, 4 June 2026: Launched today, our interactive nuclear supply chain tool makes clear that nuclear is one of the few strategic net zero value chains that is almost entirely based in Europe. Over 5500 companies are currently active across Europe, covering a broad range of services such as engineering, logistics, IT, material supply and many more!

“This interactive tool clearly demonstrates that the nuclear value chain is one of Europe’s most extensive and strategically important industrial ecosystems, spanning thousands of companies across the continent” states Emmanuel Brutin nucleareurope Director General. “Not only is nuclear a cornerstone of Europe’s clean, reliable and sovereign energy system, its economic contribution is equally substantial. It supports over 900,000 jobs across Europe and generates billions in economic value each year.  Our value chain stretches across the continent, including in countries without nuclear reactors, where a large number of companies contribute to the nuclear sector across Europe and globally.”

The tool is divided into the following sections, enabling the user to gain an insight into just how substantial our supply chain is:

• An overview of the nuclear sector in Europe
• The different areas in which the supply chain is active
• A snapshot of the supply chain per country.
