SUMMARY:BNS 50-Year Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:>>>>> Photos taken during the event ( #PHOTOS ) <<<<<\n2.13.0.0\nYour committee did not forget that we had the immense privilege of administrating the Belgian Nuclear Society during an important year of its existence, as it celebrated its 50-year anniversary in 2020. It was even officially mentioned in the ANS Newsletter ( https://twin.bnsorg.be/the-bns-50-year-anniversary-on-the-ans-spotlight/ ) ! This is one milestone in the Belgian nuclear community that we could not let pass unnoticed, and neither could we let the virus crisis make us abandon our projects. For these reasons, your committee has been actively working for the preparation of a memorable anniversary event, first foreseen on the 29th of October 2020,. But the Corona virus and associated decisions did not allow us to organize it on that date. Therefore, and regarding the expected hope of real decrease of the pandemic for the second half of this year, we intend to organize this 50-years event just one year later, i.e. on 28th October 2021.\nWe are Belgian.We promote Nuclear science and technology for the benefits of humanity.We are a Society at the service of the people.We therefore thought that the Atomium, built in 1958 in the era of the “Atoms for Peace” (from Ike Eisenhower), was the best place to celebrate this event!\nBefore the party, in our quality of a ‘learned society’, we will organize an interesting academic session. We are currently working at the preparation of a program that will gather major actors of the nuclear sector in Belgium and in Europe. We will also honor the historical partner of our society (ANS). Regarding its close location to the Atomium, and the unique atmosphere in its projection dome, the academic session will take place at the Brussels Planetarium.\n2.13.0.02.13.0.0\nProgram and time schedule\nPART 1: Planetarium (16:30 – 20:00)\n16.30: Registration starts at the Planetarium main entrance hall.
