Advancing Civilian Nuclear Power in Türkiye

The Department of State’s Office of the Nonproliferation and Disarmament Fund (ACN/NDF) is pleased to announce an open competition for assistance awards through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). ACN/NDF invites non-profit/non-governmental organizations, international organizations, educational institutions, for-profit organizations, and U.S. federal government entities to submit proposals for projects that will advance the mission of NDF’s nuclear security, safety, and nonproliferation special project. Funds provided under this grant shall be used to develop and implement a program of cooperation with Türkiye on the development, procurement, deployment, and operation of its civil nuclear energy infrastructure. This project seeks to counter the nuclear proliferation and security threats and nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation-related hazards associated with Türkiye’s selection of non-U.S. reactors and associated supply chains, as well as potential Turkish interest in nuclear cooperation with non-U. S. companies.
