Memorandum of Understanding between the British Nuclear Energy society (BNES) and the Institution of Nuclear Engineers (INucE)

摘要

The BNES and INucE have, over many years, entered into discussions about how they might work more closely together. More recently this has been consolidated into detailed discussion in two areas, specifically: 1. the concept of a new joint journal; 2. the concept of a joint secretariat. The added impetus for progress in both of these areas has been the possibility of an increase in the fees to be claimed by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) for the support they provide to the BNES as an associate society, which will require to be negotiated at the end of 2004. In addition, there is the potential for INucE to become more involved with links to government based on the BNES activity attributable to the ICE building location. Hence, the possibility Of INucE providing certain administration and financial management support for BNES, under contract and at a rate lower than that typical of the ICE, has the potential for a win/win scenario for both organisations. In a similar manner, the ability to provide a joint journal, based on the best of each individually produced publication and its electronic support is also likely to provide a win/win situation.
