A US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) delegation headed by commissioner and former MIT professor Dr. George Apostolakis visited the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) headquarters, on September 7.

The American delegation was guided around the GAEC laboratories and met with the Greek commission's president Dr. Christos Housiadas to discuss the activation of a technical cooperation agreement between the two Commissions.

The Greek side is particularly interested in NRC technical assistance in the licensing process of the 'Democritus' National Research Center's research nuclear reactor which is currently undergoing a major upgrade.
