Dear BNS member,
dear website visitor,   

It is a great honour and a pleasure to be the Chairman of the Belgian Nuclear Society.  I am very grateful to my predecessor, Jean van Vyve, who has been fully committed to the growing success of our association. I will do my best to pursue his action, and to actively serve our Society during my mandate. This will only be possible through the help of all of you, the members, and in particular of our Executive Committee.  

A SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY 

The Belgian Nuclear Society will remain a scientific society, keeping as its main goal to disseminate technical or societal information related to peaceful applications of nuclear energy. It will also promote education in nuclear science, and enhance professional and personal relations between the members. Its activities are carried out in a fully independent way, with respect to commercial, political or other goals which are incompatible with our objectives.

I would like to emphasize the role of two particular groups of members, which are important from very different point of views.

OUR MEMBERS

The first group consists of "experienced" members, who are retired or close to it. They have accumulated a broad experience, which needs to be transmitted. If you attended our evening seminars or our conferences, you know that the Belgian Nuclear Society helps initiating dialogues between generations and transfer of know-how. I would like to thank them for their commitment and fidelity.  

THE YOUNG GENERATION

The second group is made of all our younger members, those who are the most active and enthusiastic! I can promise that the Belgian Nuclear Society will further support their numerous activities, which are coordinated through the BNS Young Generation. 
  
I invite all of you to travel in this website, look at our past and future activities, read the papers and presentations and participate to our conferences. If you are not yet a member of our Society, please join us and let us share our values! 
 
 Didier Haas
Chairman of the Belgian Nuclear Society
