This year's Nuclear Energy Conference is now fixed! Since we are planning a real face-to-face event this time (after 3 years of online versions only), we recommend making a note of the place & date: Tuesday, May 16, 2023 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Redoutensäle in Linz, Upper Austria.
Under the title "Brave New Atomic World?" we want to address the current hype around Generation IV, SMR & Co. In a series of lectures and discussion opportunities, we will discuss prophecy versus reality, where the driving forces are coming from, what they are aiming for - and last but not least, what we can do about it.
The program is still in the works, we will keep you posted!
Brave New Atomic World?
Once again, the nuclear lobby and its governments are promising great things. This time they want to 'help' in the fight against overheating of the earth and, with enormous advertising effort, present the Small Modular Reactor, SMR for short, as their latest offspring. But when you look at it in the light of day, it's already more than 70 years old - and yet it has never grown up: Intensive research has been going on since the 1950s, and none of the more than 130 different SMR concepts worldwide has even come close to being ready for series production.
NEC 2023, the 10th Nuclear Energy Conference since 2014, aims to uncover from different perspectives: can such 'shrunken' nuclear power plants ever be ready for series production and save the climate? Or is this 'brave new nuclear world' not rather a pretext of the nuclear lobby to obtain governmental as well as private funding via nuclear contaminated taxonomy regulation? And who is pulling the strings particularly hard - in an attempt to stave off the demise of the nuclear industry?
