[en] The relatively atypical position of the nuclear competitiveness pole of Burgundy (France) apparently ensues from the doctrine adopted when poles were created in 2005: contrarily to other poles that have been launched by the government, this one was created on the initiative of contractors working for the nuclear sector. The nuclear industry is deeply implanted in Burgundy where it inherited a long tradition of heavy industry and heavy forging. Even the local authorities were of little support because they were not fully aware that the common point of most local business was to work in the nuclear sector. The mission of this pole follows 4 axis: 1) building and promoting adequate training in nuclear activities at the region scale, 2) proposing coordinated research and development projects for the members, 3) a specific project on a shared information system dedicated to ease relationships between contractors and subcontractors, and 4) a mission for promoting the industrial side of the region in foreign countries.

[en] Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), through the sponsorship of the U. S. Department of Energy, has been implementing a number of cooperative programs related to nuclear reactor safety with countries located in Central Europe. This technical cooperation was initiated in 1991, has increased in scope, and is expected to continue within the limits of the available funding. Currently, programs are active in the following countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, and the Slovak Republic. This paper will provide and overview of the programs in each country; in addition, activities related to transfer of the technologies in the areas of nuclear reactor analyses and operating power plant staff training facilities will be described in detail
