Lithuania's State Enterprise Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant signed an MOU with France's Newcleo in September 2025 to assess the potential role of Newcleo's lead-cooled fast reactor for Lithuania. Feasibility studies cover evaluation of SMR integration into Lithuania's energy system, siting evaluations, reprocessing of stocks of used nuclear fuel (Ignalina's legacy RBMK fuel), potential industrial applications for hydrogen and ammonia production, and creation of local nuclear supply chains. The Ignalina site already has nuclear infrastructure and workforce.
