Nuclear Decommissioning: HSE, AMEC, Westinghouse, Environment Agency and National Skills Academy for Nuclear to Continue Debate on Nuclear Decommissioning Best Practice
The UK’s leading decommissioning experts will come together at Nuclear Energy Insider’s, ‘Nuclear Decommissioning Supply Chain Conference’ to discuss the decommissioning industries biggest challenges
(PRWEB) January 14, 2010
On 12th and 13th April 2010, top tier operators and regulators will meet to discuss the future of nuclear decommissioning in the United Kingdom.
The estimated total cost for cleanup of existing UK nuclear sites is expected to exceed £73bn. All nuclear power stations (except Sizewell B) will have stopped generating electricity by 2023 and UK decommissioning projects will begin to roll out on a major scale.
One key challenge that the nuclear industry currently faces is that skilled personnel are an aging demographic. Jean Llewellyn, Chief Executive for The National Skills Academy for Nuclear told Nuclear Energy Insider, “It is vital that the decommissioning sub sector remains a popular career choice for people working in the nuclear industry”.
Jean will be joining other nuclear experts at the nuclear decommissioning supply chain conference in April and explained that “conferences such as this are crucial to ensure that the decommissioning agenda continues a pace and that the companies involved in decommissioning have a skilled and competent workforce to deliver their important agenda safely and effectively”.
Great benefits from attending the Nuclear Decommissioning Supply Chain Conference include 14+ hours of networking, working group discussions, networking cocktail party at the end of day one and more!
