International cooperation in research. Prerequisite and assurance for enhanced safety

It was proven in the past, especially during crisis affecting neighbouring countries that international cooperation in nuclear safety issues are needed. It is also important for science development and reduction of cost on shared project basis. In order to maintain the level of knowledge and expertise, this cooperation should be extended and strengthened. Some proposal in this effect are presented, including expansion of existing cooperation, increased mobilities of researchers and free flow of information. (N.T.)
