Pre-Conference Colloquium
21 June 2011, 9am-5pm
Nuclear Power Programme Simulator
Enhancing attendee familiarity with the IAEA milestones guide and real-life necessities for nuclear new build
Course Objectives
The colloquium will generate ideas on how issues are overcome at all stages of approving, building and operating a nuclear power plant. This full-day exercise is designed to take delegates through a hypothetical nuclear power programme based on the 19 steps of the IAEA milestones guide. To ensure maximum accuracy and correct understanding of requirements, IAEA expert Vincent Nkong-Njock will facilitate other industry experts as they discourse on the requirements of nuclear new build.
Co-facilitators:
Dr. Vincent Nkong-Njock, Senior Nuclear Specialist, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
