ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The first thing to say is simply a huge, I mean a huge, huge thank you to the team that put the WNISR2022
together. The project has survived unfavorable if not adverse conditions for 15 years, but this year was
simply unprecedented. For health and career reasons, several core contributing authors unexpectedly
were not able to provide input this year. But… the extraordinary solidarity of the remaining team and
a couple of exceptional contributors who together picked up the tab made it possible to produce this
report together against all odds.
It has been 30 years that we produced a precursor WNISR. It has been 30 years that my friend Antony
Froggatt has been a solid partner in developing the report concept, contributing chapters, editing others,
and presenting the outcome. Thank you for everything.
At the core of the WNISR is its database designed and maintained by data manager and information
engineer Julie Hazemann who also develops most of the drafts for the graphical illustrations and
manages much of the cooperation with designer and webmaster. She expanded her contribution
significantly over the past few years. As ever, no WNISR without her. Thanks so much.
M.V. Ramana, over the years, has not only been a regular, reliable, professional, and insightful contributor
but also a wonderful person to work with. Heartful thanks.
Very glad to count Tatsu Suzuki amongst the core team, following decades of cooperation under various
circumstances and organizational arrangements. Thank you very much for your invaluable contributions.
Very happy to work with Michael Sailer again with whom I have crossed paths for some four decades
now. Thank you for your crucial, timely contribution to this project.
Christian von Hirschhausen, thank you for being back on the project. Your constructive thinking
and positivity are a real treat. Newcomer Alex Wimmers dived into the WNISR with skill and full
engagement. Thank you and see you both next year!
Nina Schneider has further expanded her meticulous proof-reading, source verification, and fact-
checking capacities. This year, she also drafted several sections of the report. Her production skills are
indispensable to the outcome. Merci beaucoup.
Special thanks go to Tim Judson and another expert who not only filled in unexpected gaps but superbly
mastered the tasks under impossible time constraints.
A big thank you to Aviel Verbruggen for his thought-provoking, generous foreword, delivered under
unreal time constraints.
Artist and graphic designer Agnès Stienne created the redesigned layout in 2017 and is constantly
improving our graphic illustrations that continue to get the praise they deserve around the world.
Thankyou once again.
A big thank you also to Arnaud Martin for his continuous, highly reactive, and reliable work on the
website www.WorldNuclearReport.org, dedicated to the WNISR Project.
For the fourth time in a row, we owe idea, design, and realization of the report-cover to renowned
German painter Friedhelm Meinass and designer Constantin E. Breuer, (“who congenially implements
my ideas”, dixit F.M.). Thanks so much for another striking, politically intelligent, and very generous
contribution.
