Dutch minister for Foreign affairs Maxime Verhagen today visited the Energy Research Park in Petten, The Netherlands. On invitation by the Dutch Nuclear knowledge centre (NRG), the visit was primarily focussed on the Petten High Flux Reactor. However, the Minister was also highly interested in all other energy activities at the site.
Presentations from both the JRC Institute for Energy (IE) on the role of the JRC in supporting the development of European energy policy and from the Dutch Energy Research Centre (ECN) were well received by the Minister and members of his cabinet.
