Agreement for cooperation between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the European Atomic Energy in the field of controlled nuclear fusion.

The purpose of the Agreement shall be to facilitate the achievement of fusion energy as a potentially environmentally acceptable, economically competitive, and virtually limitless source of energy. The Agreement rests on the principle of mutual benefit. Cooperation shall cover the following areas: (a) experimental and theoretical studies of plasma confinement, transport, heating and current drive (including the development of related RF systems) and diagnostics, in toroidal magnetic devices; (b) studies in plasma theory, in particular on the physics of fast ions and alpha particles in toroidal magnetic devices, and studies of turbulent plasmas and of non-linear plasma-wave interactions; (c) fusion technology; (d) applied plasma physics; (e) policy concerning programme and plans (art. 2). The cooperation shall be implemented in particular through: (a) exchange of technical information by means of reports, visits, seminars, technical meetings; (b) exchange of personnel between laboratories and/or bodies involved on both sides, including for training purposes; (c) exchange of samples, materials, instruments and apparatus for experimental purposes, (d) balanced participation in joint studies and activities (art. 3).
