Research Reactor Operator Group meeting
A meeting of the Research Reactor Operator Group (RROG) was held at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering from 20 to 23 April. This was the 31st annual meeting of representatives of operators of nuclear research facilities from all over Europe. The meeting was attended by 18 representatives from 11 European countries, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Poland and Italy. Participants presented the current state of nuclear research facilities in their countries, their use and research activities. Part of the presentations was also devoted to a special topic of the meeting, which was the organization of experiments and the conditions of access to nuclear research facilities. The meetings are mainly used for cooperation and transfer of knowledge and experience from the operation of nuclear research facilities.
