The president of ENUSA has valued this agreement as a great international opportunity for ENUSA and to position itself as a strategic partner of the organization in training and dissemination.<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ENUSA and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have signed what is their first collaboration agreement. As a result of the excellent relations they have maintained for years, both entities have signed an agreement that, in the words of Jos\u00e9 Vicente Berlanga, president of ENUSA, \u201crepresents a great international opportunity for a nuclear company by facilitating the establishment of alliances with the countries that make up this organization.\u201d The Deputy Director General and head of the IAEA Nuclear Energy Department, Mikhail Chudakov, was present at this event.<\/p>\n

The agreement comes to structure and shape the extensive collaboration that has marked the relations between ENUSA and the IAEA and focuses on three lines of action: the nuclear fuel cycle, development of advanced technology fuels (including accident-tolerant fuels) and spent fuel management; radioactive waste management, nuclear facility decommissioning (including dismantling) and environmental rehabilitation (including uranium concentrate production facilities); and the transportation of nuclear and radioactive materials as well as the logistics of radioisotope products for nuclear medicine (including modal transportation, distribution and documentation, their development and implementation).<\/p>\n

The IAEA is currently developing and implementing activities with member states in the fields of environmental protection and post-decommissioning rehabilitation of nuclear facilities. ENUSA has deep and unique experience in the rehabilitation of old uranium mines and uranium concentrate manufacturing facilities, which will be a valuable contribution from the Spanish public company to other countries that have the same needs.<\/p>\n

In this way, ENUSA becomes a strategic partner in training and dissemination, offering complementary support to the IAEA through various resources such as online tools for distance learning, co-organization of training events and meetings, as well as holding internships and scholarships. \u201cThe synergies that can be produced with this collaboration will be beneficial for both parties and will bring the two organizations even closer,\u201d said the president of ENUSA.<\/p>\n
