A special section was carried out to present the ENEN-RU II project to the public. Prof. Artisiuk, from the Russian side, and Mr. Dieguez Porras, from the European side, presented the Minutes of the Kickoff meeting, held the day before. The EU side emphasized the importance of nuclear safety culture and training for Generation III and IV systems while the Russian side included also the cooperation in the field of research reactors.
Publication of the Kickoff meeting reference in the EU-Russia-Year of Science Website.
On 5 March 2015, the participants of the ENEN RU II project expressed their determination in the bilateral collaboration, addressing issues on safety culture and the specifics of education and training in EU and Russia in order to develop a fruitful cooperation. The training in WWER technology received particularly high interest.
The 1st Progress Meeting of the ENEN-RU II project took place in ATOMEXPO 2015, Moscow, Russian Federation, on 1 June, 2015.
The ENEN RU E&T Forum was set-up in ATOMEXPO 2015, Moscow, Russian Federation, on 2 June 2015.

The International Conference on “Nuclear Safety and Personnel Training” hosted the first ENEN-RU II Forum Meeting in Obninsk, Russian Federation, on 24-25 November 2015.
During the meeting the EU and the Russian sides decided to develop a joint EU-RU MSc certificate in the field of nuclear engineering. To achieve this goal, the experience of ENEN is planned to be used which was obtained from EMSNE (European Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering). A possibility was also created for four ENEN PhD students to participate in the First summer school on “Engineering and computer modeling”.
For the next year, four courses were planned to take place:
For the international Conference two extended abstracts were also submitted by ENEN (in the name of the President and of the Secretary General) and by UPB (Prof. Petre Ghitescu).
On 4 march 2016, the evolution of the ENEN RU II project was presented at the ENEN GA and several meetings were held among the European and Russian project partners.
Participants:
During the Project and Forum meeting between 27 June and 01 July in 2016, the participants of the project discussed the achieved results and determined the future steps and cooperation strategy. Two Hungarians experts presented the current situation of needs on Education and Training in Hungary and the capabilities and infraestructures of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, member of ENEN.
On 4-15 July 2016, this innovative Summer school took place with the attendance of the following students.
Participants:
With the title of “The safety issues of VVER-type reactors with nuclear fuel based on reprocessed uranium”, a joint training course was organized by ROSATOM-CICE&T branch in Saint Petersburg with the participation of trainees from Slovakia, Italy, Romania and Czech Republic.
Attendants:
On 3-7 October 2016, this joint training course was implemented with the participation of the European facilitators, Mario Gonzalez, expert in Nuclear Safety Culture, as an embedded school/workshop in the XI International Nuclear Forum, event focused on discussion of strategic governance of nuclear power development safety issues. http://rosatom-cicet.ru/wp-content/uploads/booklets/liflet_ssc_1.pdf
Workshop on Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) Methodology was organized by TECNATOM for the delegation of ROSATOM-CICE&T. The promoted methodology can guartantee that the services have a high level of quality and they are constantly updated. The aim of the workshop was to implement this methodology to improve performance-based training for meeting nuclear plant job qualification requirements.
Attendants:
On 7 December 2016, the ENEN-RU II Project Meeting was organized in Prague, Czech Republic, where the results of cooperation for all Working Packages were presented by Ms. Natalia Shulepova from the side of ROSATOM-CICE&T. The plans of the cooperation in the following year were discussed as well which were deliberated by the ENEN Secretary General Mr. Pedro Dieguez Porras.
This course was organised on 25-28 April 2017.
Participants:
On 17-19 May, this course was displayed on line for distant participation from MEPhI.
This course included practical activities in the facilities of the research reactor.
Participants:
At the IX International Forum “ATOMEXPO-2017” the representatives of ENEN and ROSATOM-CICE&T signed a Memorandum of Understanding renewing the successful cooperation between organizations.
