The Atoms for Peace program of international cooperation gave the US the responsibility of sharing scientific knowledge and nuclear materials while training foreign scientists. Europe responded with the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for cooperative research and multilateral exchanges on reactor safety and waste management. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has about 40 international research arrangements and cooperative program agreements, some of which are multilateral and others bilateral. The Electric Power Research Institute eight-member Nuclear Safety Analysis Center reflects the growing concern for nuclear safety. (DCK)
