This will increase the number of reactors at a time when potential malicious acts involving nuclear material are a continuing threat.

A European alumni network and knowledge management system will be created to disseminate educational products and good practices on European collaboration.The Programme will have an impact on students, professionals, partner organisations and professional and industry organisations.
