UKRAINE

NSOI first engaged Ukraine in July 2005 and signed a joint action plan with the Government of Ukraine in January 2006.

The joint action plan includes 30 priority steps to improve Ukrainian capabilities; half of these steps involve ongoing efforts that need to be completed, and the other half involve new efforts that should be undertaken.

The joint list of priority assistance projects includes 6 projects on radioactive sources, 5 on border detection, 1 on prosecution, 1 on nuclear forensics, 2 on anti-corruption training, and 2 on nuclear security.
