European Nuclear Society

Background

The European Nuclear Society or ENS was founded in 1975 and is the federation of 26 nuclear societies from 25 countries in Europe. ENS connects these national nuclear member societies with the principle aim of fostering and coordinating their activities on an international level.

ENS also serves as the Brussels-based contact point for relevant European institutions. It shares staff and lobbyists with Foratom. For example, Santiago San Antonio, the Secretary General of ENS, is also Foratom's Director-General. ^{[1] (http://www.nuclearspin.org/index.php/European_Nuclear_Society#endnote_ens1)}

ENS has three Associate Member Societies in Australia, Israel and Morocco and has collaboration agreements with the American Nuclear Society, the Argentinean Nuclear Energy Association, the Canadian Nuclear Society and the Chinese Nuclear Society.

ENS works closely together with the World Nuclear Association, the Nuclear Energy Institute; the Japanese Atomic Industry Forum and the Canadian Nuclear Association. ^{[2] (http://www.nuclearspin.org/index.php/European_Nuclear_Society#endnote_ens2)}
