Stepan Gevorgyan, Armenia
Organizing and putting into effect the congresses like the last one is a
matter of great importance for us, future nuclear energy specialists,
because such meetings allow us to communicate and change opinions on the
subjects of mutual interest.
As to me, such congresses also help to become acquainted with the prospects
of nuclear energy development all over the world. Young specialists obtain
the opportunity of listening to the leading scientists and politicians
opinion.
What I would like to wish for the future meetings of such kind - that the
visits to the nuclear stations and nuclear facilities may be paid with more
attention, as well as more time would be alotted for those visits.

Gaston Meskens, ENS YGN Chairman,Belgium
Looking back on IYNC2000 in Bratislava last week, I want to thank all the ENSYGN core members for their contribution to the success of the conference.
Especially to Alexandre, Florence, Serguei, Stan, Robert and Marko, our core
members who did a huge job in preparing the conference : I must say I was
really impressed by the perfect organization and (as Florence said) the
smooth way everything went on. Thanks !!!

I would like to express my gratitude of the wonderful congress that You had
organized. It was very useful for us - the young generation and it was at
a very high level. Looking back I realize that there wasn`t anything to be
disturbing about. During the whole Congress, the structure and the
management were just perfect. You ought to be proud with the organization of
this excellent event. Thank you once again for everything!

Petri Leppimaki, Finland
The congress was huge international success. Thank You all for that.
I have not so many "ideas" for the future, but maybe for the next congress:
- narrow the variety of areas that are presented and choose some special topics only (to go deeper into subject itself).

Yvonne Broy, Germany
Please find enclosed some remarks, additionally I got also a few impressions
from my coelleagues who stayed together with me in Bratislava:
- The most important thing was and is - we had and we'll have the
opportunity to meet young people from all over the world working on the
nuclear field and to demonstrate: The nuclear energy has a future!
- We got a lot of information about the nuclear industry or research
activities in different contries.
- Inspite of the 32 countries, the structure of the participating countries
was inhomogenous. We missed young people from the United States and Asia!
- There were to much papers, e.g. posters and presentations! We didn't have
time enough to look neither at all posters nor to hear all presentations!
- The time (10') for the presenation was very short! All authors spent a lot
of time on their papers. It was very difficult to summarize the content in
only 10 minutes! Nevertheless, the chairpersons didn't take care on the
time....
Our suggestions for the next congress:
We should find an 'overall' theme or subject for the whole congress and
should concentrate on some main aspects.

Congraturation for successful meeting at Bratislava!
I would like to write my impression in the following.
I was very impressed with the activity of YDRN.
I think most part of IYNC 2000 owes to the efforts of your organization.
In fact, it was a nice oppotunity to promote friendships among young
researchers.
It seems that such energy does not exist in the young generation in Japan.
Most of the student tend to choose other field than nuclear engineering.
However, after IYNC 2000, the atomic energy society of Japan approved
to establish YGN Japan this year.
I hope IYNC Japan will make contributions for organizing future IYNC, too.
IYNC 2000 was really well organized. It was like a festival of young generat
ion
in nuclear fields. I was impressed with many guest speakers leading nuclear
community.

Marianne Uematsu, Japan
I, as a nuclear scientist of Japan, was really encouraged that the youth
of the world have forward-looking attitudes and have responsibilities of
one self in keeping nuclear technologies, especially after our experience
of the first critical accident in Japan.
The society became really sensitive of the matter of nuclear, and the
people of Japan aware that the energy program has been independently made
from the people. And therefore the people have now very doubt about not
only the nuclear energy development program but also the nuclear power
itself.
I was very pleased to meet our youth colleagues in the world.
The congress has very important meaning to make an international network
of the youth. The nuclear problem is not a national matter but
international one, and we have much more necessity to collaborate
internationally now a day.
We keep in touch each other !

Mantha Sarma, Indian Nuclear Society President
My comments on the Conference are as follows:
1. The theme was unique and very proper
2. The Conference was conducted in a very business like manner.
3. The participants were very young professionals, who are the hope of
the future.
4. The arrangements were perfect.
5. I feel gratified in having participated in the Conference along with
so many young professionals. All those who have struggled and sweatted,
deserve to be congratulated and I am sure they have every reason to be
proud of about the Conference.

Andrija Volkanovski, Macedonia
Towards my perception of the Bratislava Congress I think that whole
organization was done excellent but my opinion is that next time the whole
presentation session should be divided into more specific areas of interest and
to give more attention towards technical aspects of designs and new
technologies.
Further actions for the IYNC network: Establishment of on-line Database on
official web site of the IYNC200 for communication and further transfer of
knowledge and information's between participants regarding nuclear science and
technology.

Olusola Sokefun, Nigeria
A profile of the status of the different countries should be looked into. I
want to think my country would be among the poorest in terms of nuclear
technology awareness. Funds should be made available to countries like ours to
raise awareness. This action needs to be urgently taken.
I would like the iync to focus on countries with little know how and improve
even if nothing at all the knowledge base.

Marco Cepin, Slovenia
IYNC2000 was recognised as an important and well organised event, which
contributed significantly to the integration of the nuclear community and to
the public understanding of importance of the nuclear energy.
Further actions should be taken to ensure that such meeting would become a
regular event. A common bulletin would contribute to a better integration of
nuclear enthusiasts.
Slovenia is the world smallest country with an operating nuclear power plant.
Nuclear community in Slovenia is therefore small, but the contribution of
future generation is remarkable. Public opinion on nuclear energy is positive
in Slovenia, which was confirmed in September 1999, when the street transport
of new steam generators to the nuclear power plant Krsko became the public
attraction of the month.

IYNC shows the future of nuclear!
Jan-Ru Tang, Taiwan
Congratulations to all of the participants of IYNC2000, especially to the
executive committee. You have done a great job to make IYNC2000 possible
and successful. I was impressed by your efforts to organize every detail
of the Congress meeting. I also admired you with your vision on the future
of nuclear technology. I believe IYNC could bring blessings to the
international nuclear communities and I wish IYNC would be continued as a
regular meeting. It's good to have the IYNC2000 at Bratislava, Slovakia.
This provided a chance for many of us to visit a place for the first time
in the world. Thank you for the wonderful time we had in Bratislava. I
hope we will meet again with improvements of the issues we discussed in
IYNC2000.
