2022-02-24This is the day the energy panic starts - though for the wrong reasons.
2022-05-24The Belgian government trades the closure of all Belgian NPPs for a 100 Million Euro research grant for SCK to investigate SMR technoplogies. It is clear that BRIGID's MSR concept is incompatible with the SMR concept. Although the Belgian government states that SCK receives this grant because of its unique expertise, it could be observed that SCK is expert in finding creative solutions for problems they have created, but not for the real problems society is facing.
2022-06-08The BRIGID thesis was presented and ... rejected for unclear reasons. This simply adds to our motivation to continue the BRIGID work.
2022-09-22KULeuven confirms to BRIGID that all intellectual rights on the BRIGID technology belongs to Ian's Corner bv. It indicates that KULeuven and SCK are not interested in the BRIGID concept, which is duely noted, as this makes patenting work a lot easier.
2022-10-27BRIGID followed a Monte-Carlo Simulator course of MIT.
