Abstract
The EUROSAFE Forum for Nuclear Safety is part of the EUROSAFE approach, which consists of two further elements: the EUROSAFE Tribune and the EUROSAFE Web site. The general aim of EUROSAFE is to contribute to fostering the convergence of technical nuclear safety practices in a broad European context. This is done by providing technical safety and research organisations, safety authorities, power utilities, the rest of the industry and non-governmental organisations mainly from the European Union and East-European countries, and international organisations with a platform for the presentation of recent analyses and R and D in the field of nuclear safety. The goal is to share experiences, to exchange technical and scientific opinions, and to conduct debates on key issues in the fields of nuclear safety and radiation protection. The EUROSAFE Forum on 2005 focused on Safety Improvements, Reasons - Strategies - Implementation, from the point of view of the authorities, TSOs and industry. Latest work in nuclear installation safety and research, waste management, radiation safety as well as nuclear material and nuclear facilities security carried out by GRS, IRSN, AVN and their partners in the European Union, Switzerland and Eastern Europe are presented. A high level of nuclear safety is

Latest work in nuclear installation safety and research, waste management, radiation safety as well as nuclear material and nuclear facilities security carried out by GRS, IRSN, AVN and their partners in the European Union, Switzerland and Eastern Europe are presented. A high level of nuclear safety is a priority for the countries of Europe. The technical safety organisations play an important role in contributing to that objective through appropriate approaches to major safety issues as part of their assessments and research activities. The challenges to nuclear safety are international. Changes in underlying technologies such as instrumentation and control, the impact of electricity market deregulation, demands for improved safety and safety management, the ageing of nuclear facilities, waste management, maintaining and improving scientific and technical knowledge, and the need for greater transparency - these are all issues where the value of an international approach is gaining increasing recognition. The event was rounded off by a poster exhibition. Technical plenary presentations comprised: - Welcome by the Directors of AVN, GRS and IRSN; - Safety Improvements - objectives and methods (Pieter De Gelder, Martial Jorel, Heinz Liemersdorf); - NPP safety improvements - licensees' motivation and concerns (Ingvar Berglund); - Implementation of safety improvements - the role of the authority (Ivan Lux). Five seminars followed addressing the items: - Seminar 1, Nuclear Installation Safety - Assessment and Analysis; - Seminar 2, Nuclear Installation Safety - Research; - Seminar 3, Environment and Radiation Protection; - Seminar 4, Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities Security; - Seminar 5, Waste Management. A poster and computer demonstrations were available for consultations throughout the Forum. The poster presented the consequences of the Chernobyl accident and REDAC, the radioecological database of the French-German initiative.}
