Efficient cooperation with the government

For a successful integration of nuclear energy in the energy transition, efficient cooperation between industry, universities and knowledge institutes, the government and society is an absolute precondition. If certain developments are wanted by government and society, this stimulates industrial activity, innovation and development. On the other hand, inspiring education at universities and colleges in that field stimulates the formation of a new batch of engineers and scientists, who will find their place in industry, the government and elsewhere in society, and who will act as ambassadors for even more support. If that cooperation goes well, it turns like a flywheel: almost frictionless.

As for nuclear power and the applications of radiation and radioactivity, there are a number of brake pads fitted to that flywheel that currently prevent it from turning properly. In this article, we'll discuss some of those brake pads and how to remove them from the flywheel.
