Boreal Nights : Visits and conferences from June 29 to July 3, 2009

During one week, more than 30 young engineers and students coming from Russia, Sweden, Spain and France could enjoy very interesting visits of nuclear installations. It was then followed by 2 days of conferences at Ecole Polytechnique on which many other young engineers have been invited to participate.
A real success which has allowed participants to share ideas and knowledge.

Many thanks to our sponsors AREVA, EDF, CEA and TOTAL for given us the possibility to organize such event. I do hope we will organize it next year again !
