U.S. NRC visits IRSN

Dan Dorman, Executive Director for Operations at the U.S. NRC, visited IRSN in Cadarache on December 7, 2023, at the invitation of his counterpart Jean-Christophe Niel. He was received by Patrice Giordano Director Safety Research, and Cyril Pinel, Director European and International Affairs.

The visit provided an opportunity to review current cooperation in the field of safety research between the NRC and IRSN, particularly with regard to severe accidents, and to visit the laboratories involved in these research programs. The cooperation IRSN has had with NRC for many years is at the core of our international partnering strategy in the field of nuclear safety research.
