Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Slovakia has established a new nuclear energy strategy for the period between 2026 and 2030. The government’s plan focuses on the safe use of nuclear energy, addressing an “alarmingly missing experimental infrastructure,” and researching new technologies like modular reactors and fusion energy. The strategy also emphasizes improving technical security in laboratories, updating legal regulations, and promoting scientific education to develop future nuclear experts. Building on these domestic objectives, Slovakia has expanded its international energy cooperation. The country is deepening bilateral ties with Bulgaria regarding nuclear capacity, fuel diversification, and plant decommissioning, as well as collaborating on the Vertical Gas Corridor to enhance energy security. Additionally, Slovakia is seeking nuclear research partnerships with Australia, specifically in fields such as nuclear medicine, radiation protection, and advanced materials. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-14: Bulgaria and Slovakia expand nuclear and gas energy cooperation Bulgaria and Slovakia are strengthening energy ties through nuclear and gas cooperation, while Slovakia seeks to expand nuclear research partnerships with Australia. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bulgaria-and-slovakia-expand-nuclear-and-gas-energy-cooperation ### 2026-09-23: Slovakia approves new nuclear energy strategy through 2030 Slovakia has approved a nuclear energy strategy for 2026–2030, focusing on research into modular reactors, improving experimental infrastructure, and enhancing specialized education. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/slovakia-approves-new-nuclear-energy-strategy-through-2030 --- Cite as: Slovakia nuclear energy policy and cooperation.
