Abstract

Abstract The nuclear industry has been facing issues linked directly to the mixed feelings of the public opinion and national governments towards the use of nuclear energy for electricity production among others. Different institutions are aware of it and published reports on the challenges identified in this field, including the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and ESK (German Commission on Waste Management). In this paper is presented an analysis of said challenges and a possible solution, the network NANCY (Nuclear Applications newcomers CommunitY), an initiative currently in phase of development at the focus field Nuclear Waste Management, in the university of applied sciences FH Aachen, Germany.
