Nuclear non-proliferation is not just a mission for us. It is an effort that includes the whole world. The European Commission, US Department of Energy and many others support our work - and we are supporting theirs.

• The European Commission is the sponsor of the HERACLES-CP and the LEU FOREvER projects, two of the major pillars of the overall HERACLES program.
• The US Deparment of Energy (DOE) and its National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) run the Office of Material Management and Minimization (M³), which supports HERACLES by means of material, knowledge and man-power, and also financially. DOE further coordinates the National Labs.
• The US National Labs from Argonne (ANL), Idaho (INL) and Pacific Northwest (PNNL) collaborate closely with HERACLES. Common experiments, publications and even personnell exchange are making up this fruitful relation. Their experts are part of the Fuel Developer and Fuel Manufacturer Expert group. There is even a dedicated irradiation test "EMPIrE" at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at INL.

In our second Horizon 2020 project, "LEU FOREvER", we are happy to collaborate with three new partners in the project consortium:

• Centrum výzkumu Řež (CVR) and the LVR-15 reactor
• Narodowe Centrum Badań Jądrowych (NCBJ) and the MARIA reactor
• TechnicAtome (TA)
