Eon and CEA agree nuclear cooperation Germany's Eon is to gain access to the results of research carried out by France's Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA) after the two companies signed a cooperation agreement. The framework agreement covers the nuclear energy field and provides the basis for new research projects focused on the future use of nuclear energy, says Eon. The research will cover existing second-generation nuclear plants, third-generation technologies that are being or are about to be deployed as well as more advanced fourth-generation types. The agreement gives Eon access to CEA research results while also enabling CEA to expand its European focus to include types of reactors that are operated or are planned outside of France. Eon and CEA are already partners in the European Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) and in various communities of interest under the Strategic Energy Technology Plan of the EU Commission, said Eon in a statement.
