Nuclear Blinders

SUBHEAD: Less than a month to go until World Nuclear Association’s annual Symposium.

[IB Publisher's Note: I guess we got on the mailing list for the World Nuclear Association because we have published so much about Fukushima (see listing below). I suppose David Hess is making this invitation thinking I might fly from Hawaii to England and stay in a hotel in London for three nights to rub elbows with the assholes supporting the expansion of the nuclear industry after Chernobyl and Fukushima proved that nuclear is not an option. But that doesn't mean you can't go!]

WHAT:
World Nuclear Association’s annual Symposium

WHERE:
Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London, UK
Hashtag: #NuclearSympo

WHEN: 
14th – 16th September 2016

Don’t miss your chance to hear from the global nuclear industry’s movers and shakers about what the future holds. Did you know that Russia has just started up the world’s first VVER 1200, and that China is exploring potential sites for a reprocessing plant?

The past 12 months has seen profound events take place such as the signing of a new climate deal in Paris and the UK vote to leave the European Union. How these events will influence the energy sector is an open question.

The international energy landscape continues to evolve and while the nuclear industry faces challenges in certain markets there are also many opportunities. Find out what this means by attending our conference and hearing from expert delegates and speakers close to the action. Come along and
  • Hear from a record number of CEO level presenters
  • See experts quizzed in our hot seat interviews
  • Find out the latest that is planned for nuclear energy in Iran
  • Learn about nuclear new build prospects and fuel cycle developments
Over 600 delegates from 30 countries will be represented, offering you a unique opportunity for insight. Symposium is the global nuclear industry’s premier event, giving you the chance to access industry CEOs and influencers and ask them about all the latest sector developments.

Entry for the press is free. Please register via the website, selecting ‘press’.

And if you can’t wait to learn more about the state of the global nuclear industry, then make sure to check out the World Nuclear Performance Report at World-nuclear.org
"At the start of 2015 there were 436 operable reactors around the world and by year-end there were 439. This increase in reactor numbers came despite the retirement of seven units during the year. A larger number of nuclear power units are under construction than at any other time in the last 25 years, and with another ten new reactors coming online – also a 25-year record for the industry – 2015 demonstrated improving new build performance all round. The existing global fleet generated roughly 10% of the world’s electricity, making up around one-third of the world’s low-carbon electricity supply."
Hope to see you there!
