In memoriam of our colleague Andrea Bucalossi

Message on behalf of Messrs Kamide, Kawasaki, Rodriguez and Guiberteau

Dear GIF Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Andrea Bucalossi.

The GIF Chair, GIF Policy and Technical Directors and the GIF Technical Secretariat have addressed to Mr Bucalossi’s colleagues a message of heartfelt sympathies from all GIF members. 

A nuclear engineer from the Pisa University Andrea had a remarkable carrier in safety. He was nominated recently as a member of the small JRC nuclear team responsible for the development of a new JRC nuclear strategy.

Mr Bucalossi was well-known for his pertinent and extensive contributions to GIF work:  he had a very important role in the co-ordination of Euratom contributions to GIF and as Euratom member of the GIF EG and ETWG.

Appreciated by all, Andrea will be deeply missed. Our most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

H. Kamide

N. Kawasaki
