I-NERI Agreements

In order to initiate international collaborations, a government-to-government agreement must be in place. These agreements are the vehicles to conduct research and development under the Nuclear Reactor Technologies and Fuel Cycle Research and Development programs. To date, DOE has implemented the following agreements:
