Meeting of the ETSON Management Board and ETSON General Assembly

Frascati, Italy, June 25-27 2017

Nearly ten years ago, ETSON was established with the aim of professional networking of accredited nuclear and radiation safety experts working in the Member States of the European Community. During this time, our colleagues from Japan, Russia and Ukraine joined us. Members of ETSON must be authorized experts in the country in which they are registered, they must implement a long-term research program in the field of nuclear safety and must operate as a non-profit organization.

Among the most important activities of ETSON are joint research projects, exchange of experience, cooperation in the human resources development, assistance to national administrations in harmonizing nuclear safety requirements and helping to establish a nuclear safety infrastructure in the countries that are just choosing the nuclear power.

The regular semi-annual meetings of the ETSON Management Board and the ETSON General Assembly held an overview of the performed work of the association in the first half of year 2017 and outlined the work in the second half of 2017. Particular attention was paid to the consideration of strategic objectives and ways to achieve them, as well as the participation of the ETSON Management Board at the international conference Nuclear Energy for New Europe in September 2017 in Bled.

The meeting, organized by ENEA in Manchester, was attended by prof. Dr. Leon Cizelj, Head of the Reactor Engineering Division, JSI.
