Program
In January 2023, NPP Krško in Slovenia obtained final approval of its environmental permit for lifetime extension from 40 to 60 years. This approval was the last step in almost a decade-long process. NPP lifetime extension is an important tool for safe, reliable, low-carbon electricity production in Slovenia and Europe. With reliable lifetime extensions, nuclear power continues to be a secure path to a clean, bright energy future.
To capture the most important lessons learned and to disseminate this knowledge to the international community, we will have NPP operation issues and lifetime extension topics as focal points of this year’s NENE2023 conference.
