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.

 

Key themes:

• NPP life-time extensions and long-term operation
• NPP updates and modernization
• NPP operation, innovations, and O&M cost reductions
• NPP long term reliability, operation, support, and supply chain issues
• NPP workforce planning, recruiting, education, training, leadership, and talent development
• Reactor physics & Research reactors
• Thermal hydraulics & CFD
• Materials in nuclear technology
• Severe accidents & PSA
• Fuel cycle back-end, radioactive waste and environment
• Nuclear energy, energy policy and decarbonization of society
• Nuclear education, training and leadership
• Future of Nuclear Fission Technology 
• Nuclear fusion & Plasma technology
• Nuclear regulation, law and society
