Framatome announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the national center for nuclear research (NCBJ) Poland to explore and pursue collaborative opportunities in nuclear education and research.
“Framatome is delighted to sign this MoU with NCBJ and contribute to supporting Poland’s nuclear energy program,” said Elisabeth Terrail, Executive Vice President Human Resources at Framatome. “Our collaboration will enhance the program, attracting and training students for long-term careers in nuclear energy.”
Framatome and NCBJ will work together on topics of common interest including structural mechanics, thermal hydraulics, EPR technology and safety analyses of nuclear components and systems. Lectures and other learning opportunities, joint research initiatives and internships within Framatome will cultivate a skilled workforce and contribute to the growth and success of Poland’s nuclear industry.
“Without hesitation, our primary focus as a specialist of nuclear physics is the continual pursuit of advanced nuclear technology and research while preparing the young scientists for the future,” said Professor Krzysztof Kurek, Director of NCBJ. “Our collaboration with Framatome will let us enrich our scientific program for training the professionals of nuclear industry in Poland and maybe conduct a common research project.”
