HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This winter issue of ENS News, coming out at the end of January, gives us a last opportunity to wish you a very happy New Year. 2004 heralds change and celebration, as pointed out in the statement by Bertrand Barré, our new president, who is now heading the society.

Andrej Stritar, our past president, has also contributed to this issue. His reflections on his two-year presidency of the ENS are featured, along with his statement originally published in the American Nuclear Society publication, Nuclear News, to mark the 50th anniversary of ‘Atoms for Peace’.

The column, ‘Listening To Others’, this time focuses on the much-debated question of nuclear energy’s competitiveness, but attempts to approach the subject from an unusual angle. The ‘ENS Events’ section, which follows, features announcements about upcoming ENS conferences.

Regarding the life of our member societies, we are especially pleased to include articles on the activities of the Belgian Nuclear Society and the Romanian Nuclear Energy Association (AREN). They seem to have set the ball rolling in terms of sending us much wanted contributions for publication. Hopefully, other ENS members will follow suit!

Under the heading ‘European Institutions’, there are two main reports: one on the European Nuclear Education Network and one providing an overview of the latest developments concerning the European Commission's proposed legislation, the so-called ‘nuclear package’
