Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference on November 13-14, 2024 in Prague, Czechia

Dear Colleagues,

Amidst European phased target of achieving zero emissions by 2035 and energy independence, nuclear power industry is playing a vital role in achieving a sustainable and resilient energy future for the continent. Despite facing challenges, new opportunities for nuclear power plant construction are arising in recent years, notably with advanced designs like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Many aging nuclear plants present chances for life extension and upgrades. Advancements in fuel cycle & waste management also offer potential for reducing the volume and radiotoxicity of nuclear waste. Thus, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to extend this invitation to you for the Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 on Nov. 13-14th, 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic with the theme of “Elevating Europe's Energy Landscape with Nuclear Power: Secure, Sustainable, and Innovative”.

The conference will provide thorough updates on the civil nuclear industry in Czech Republic, Poland, France, Slovakia, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovenia, Finland. After experiencing delays and cost escalations in some NPP constructions & upgrades, how would the industry solve key challenges such as lengthy regulatory approval processes, public opposition, financing constraints, human resources and skills shortages? What kind of strategies and approaches are needed for deploying SMRs soon in Europe? How to balance the pros and cons of spent fuel recycling and direct disposal for the sustainable and economical perspective?

The 2-day Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 is dedicated to fostering engaging discussions and insights aimed at addressing these challenges and implementing strategic measures. With over 240 senior attendees from the Government & Regulators, Utilities & Operators, Large Reactor & SMRs, Fuel Cycle & Waste Management, Institute & Universities, Associations, EPC & Engineering Consulting, Professional Services, Leading Technology Firms, and Other Key Stakeholders, the conference seeks to accelerate nuclear power projects and unlock the full potential of nuclear energy to contribute to European energy transition goals, while ensuring safety, sustainability, and affordability.

We are excited for the opportunity to meet you in Prague, Czech Republic!

Best Regards，

Organizing Committee of Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024
