This study aims to highlight the possible ecological effects of the construction of PALLAS, the new research reactor. By conducting this study, the PALLAS project organisation is taking an important step in the permit process. The research work, which will take until the end of 2012, will be performed by two...

This is shown by the results of an in-depth stress test that were sent by Minister Verhagen (the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation) to the Dutch Lower Chamber. In this study, NRG analysed the degree to which the installations are resistant to extreme conditions. Following the nuclear...

Five communication campaigns from various countries were nominated to present themselves in Warsaw. NRG’s competitors were Russia, France, Austria and the United Arab Emirates. Together with JRC, NRG presented the communication campaign 'Forward...

This was announced earlier today by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation. An important condition for further progress on the PALLAS project has thus been fulfilled. NRG director Rob Stol is delighted with the support from the Cabinet and North Holland province. "The building of PALLAS and the investment in the Higher Education Reactor in Delft are superb reinforcements to the...

It was first shown at the anniversary symposium on 22 November last, in the presence of HM queen Beatrix.But there is more to show than fits a 10-minute film. That is why we have also created a website www.petten50years.eu that combines this film and an interactive timeline showing over 15 NRG and JRC-IET mile stones. While the movie runs, you...

Mid October you received an official invitation by post or e-mail, to join us in celebrating this golden jubilee of the HFR and Petten site agreement. The jubilee dinner and symposium take place on November 21st (Hotel Blooming, Bergen NH) and 22nd (Forum Building, Petten site) in the...

It was at this exact time, fifty years ago, that the first nuclear fission took place in the brand new reactor, the first one that was built in the Netherlands. “The fact that, by 2011, the HFR has become such an important research instrument for a CO2 free European energy system as well as a ‘plant’ for medical isotopes is...

The repair of the High Flux Reactor was completed and plans for the building of the PALLAS reactor were firmed up. Market trends were dominated by the financial crisis, the medical isotope supply crisis and the continuing nuclear renaissance. Despite the difficult financial times, NRG closed the year with a positive result. In this annual report, you will find an overview of the wide range of projects that we handle on behalf...
