Deeply honoured to receive an honorary doctorate from @EPFL_en in Lausanne 🇨🇭.

In my lecture, I spoke about active nuclear diplomacy: how science and diplomacy can reinforce each other, and how dialogue, trust and cooperation can make the world safer while extending the benefits of nuclear technology to those who need it most.

My sincere thanks to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne community for this recognition and for their inspiring work in education and research.

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

Je suis profondément honoré de recevoir un doctorat honoris causa de l’@EPFL à Lausanne 🇨🇭.

Dans mon discours, j’ai parlé de diplomatie nucléaire active : comment la science et la diplomatie peuvent se renforcer mutuellement, et comment le dialogue, la confiance et la coopération peuvent rendre le monde plus sûr tout en permettant aux technologies nucléaires de bénéficier à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin.

Je remercie sincèrement la communauté de l’École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne pour cette reconnaissance et pour son travail inspirant dans les domaines de l’éducation et de la recherche.

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

Switzerland is a hub of excellence in nuclear science and innovation, and @EPFL_en is at the heart of it.

I visited the Laboratory for Reactor Physics and Systems Behaviour, where experts study how reactors operate safely and efficiently; the CROCUS research reactor, which trains students and tests new concepts in reactor physics; and the Swiss Plasma Centre’s TCV Tokamak, one of Europe’s leading fusion facilities driving progress toward making fusion energy a reality, which I had the unique opportunity to operate for a brief moment.

These facilities are a reflection of 🇨🇭’s strong commitment to advancing safe and innovative nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes.

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

La Suisse est un véritable pôle d’excellence en science et innovation nucléaires, et l’@EPFL en est l’un des moteurs.

J’ai visité le Laboratoire de physique des réacteurs et de comportement des systèmes, où des experts étudient le fonctionnement sûr et efficace des réacteurs ; le réacteur de recherche CROCUS, qui forme les étudiants et teste de nouveaux concepts en physique des réacteurs ; ainsi que le Tokamak TCV du Centre suisse de recherche en plasma, l’une des principales installations européennes de fusion, que j’ai eu l’occasion unique de faire fonctionner brièvement.

Ces installations témoignent de l’engagement fort de la 🇨🇭 en faveur du développement de technologies nucléaires sûres et innovantes à des fins pacifiques.

[Rafael Mariano Grossi @rafaelmgrossi]

La Suisse a construit une solide base de connaissances nucléaires qui continue de porter ses fruits.

J’ai réaffirmé au Conseiller fédéral Albert Rösti du 🇨🇭 @UVEK la disponibilité de l’@IAEAorg à soutenir la Suisse alors qu’elle évalue les prochaines étapes de sa politique énergétique.

Merci également à Marc Kenzelmann de @ENSI_CH et à @BenoitRevaz de @BFEenergeia pour l’excellente et longue coopération avec l’@IAEAorg, ainsi qu’à Martin Ackermann de @EawagResearch, avec qui je me réjouis de renforcer la collaboration dans le cadre du programme “Atoms for Water”.

National geological disposal programmes and the role of nuclear regulators in advancing these facilities was a key focus at the #IAEAGC today, in a side event organized by Sweden 🇸🇪, Canada 🇨🇦, Finland 🇫🇮, France 🇫🇷, Switzerland 🇨🇭 and the USA 🇺🇸.
Opening the event, Hildegarde Vandenhove, Director of @IAEAorg’s Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety emphasized that geological disposal is “the international recognized solution” for the long-term management of radioactive waste. She also underlined the #IAEA’s role in supporting these efforts through international collaboration, knowledge sharing and the IAEA safety standards: https://t.co/RZgkBkizeV
