Constant communication Clause Samples

A positive example here is the very early involvement of the Mioveni community in the construction of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the demonstrator of the lead fast reactor (one of the Gen IV technologies) on the site of the Institute for Nuclear Research (RATEN ICN) from Romania9. At the RATEN ICN initiative, from the very beginning of the project, the Local Council of the hosting community was consulted and shortly after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Local Dialogue Group was created. The group consists of 13 members: 5 persons elected as members of the Local Council, 5 representatives of citizens and 3 representatives from RATEN ICN as permanent invited persons. Since its creation at the beginning of 2015, meetings were organized each semester having on the agendas topics related to the novelty of this reactor, safety aspects, potential risks and benefits to the community. Discussions revealed an increased confidence and trust in the professionalism and competence of RATEN ICN specialists in the operation of the existing research reactor which is a guarantee for the new project. The major interest is mainly linked to the socio-economic benefits of such investment in terms of new jobs, some highly rganizedd, new businesses for the local i...
