60 YEARS OF IEA-R1

Closing Remarks

We have reached the end of our celebration, and it is a sad duty to close this door - sad, since we are bidding farewell to all the new and old friends. We believe, however, that the discussions, information and works presented at the workshop have left a lot to reflect upon.

The scope of topics covered has shown how important IEA-R1 is both as a research tool and subject. There are still many scientific and near-scientific challenges that Brazil has to face, and the potential to build a new nuclear research facility is strongly coupled to the capabilities of local research community, as well as to the questions of nuclear security and safety. A pleasure is to announce that 60 Years of IEA-R1 Workshop has emerged as a platform where all these issues were debated.

We wanted to express gratitude to all of you who have made this event a reality. Thanks for your time, effort, contribution and for your will to participate!
