Sri Lanka Advances Nuclear Power Infrastructure Development

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conducted a follow-up Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) mission in July 2025 to assess Sri Lanka’s progress in developing nuclear power infrastructure.

• Sri Lanka has identified five candidate sites for a nuclear power plant, established a management structure for reactor procurement, drafted nuclear law, and included nuclear power in its 2025-2044 energy plan.
• The INIR mission team included experts from Bulgaria and Türkiye; Sri Lanka hosted workshops and SEED missions to review site selection and infrastructure readiness.
