In the beginning of the 1990's, in the course of the events which
were rapidly cha- ing the political con?guration of the East
European countries, the crisis which - vested the vast research
apparatus of the former Soviet Union was entailing con- quences
whose dimension and depth were immediately realized by the
international scienti?c community. In the same years, however, the
most important branch of nuclear energy - searchanddevelopment,
inparticularthatconcerning?ssionreactor, wasworldwide undergoing a
substantial reduction due to a variety of decisional situations.
Yet, paradoxically, it was a very good fortune that a number of
concerns on the future of nuclear research were shared by East- and
West-European scientists, especially those who were working in
advanced ?elds. In fact, the only hope for coping with an uncertain
future was to erect bridges between similar institutions and employ
safeguarding tactics linked to a long term collaboration strategy.
A decade later, this proved to be a winning decision, since the
revival of nuclear energy is presently starting from a basis of
common intentions and a network of established cooperation, whose
seeds are to be searched in those initial, individual e?orts.
