"I think CRDF is extremely important to the national scene, both because it builds scientific collaboration with the former Soviet Union countries and the other countries that they're currently working in, and because it sets a good example to the other scientific communities, both the funding agencies and the government agencies and the universities and researchers as a model for how to do good collaborative research."— Stephen Art Nuclear Regulatory Commission
