ACI’s Nuclear Power Plant Life Management & Extension 2015 will address the key issues faced by the industry as-sociated with NPP’s life management and extension: age management programs and techniques, implementation of environmental standards, I & C systems and avoidance strategies for force shutdown.
Join us on 4 - 5 November 2015 in Paris, France to hear about R & D in component behaviour and integrity, best practices of applying safety principles and concepts in preparation for licence extension and discuss the challeng-es industry is facing keeping maintenance and operational cost down.
Topics for Discussion:
Contribution of nuclear energy to EU energy mix
Evaluation of nuclear power plant management and life extension
Environmental & safety standards
Public concerns for ageing nuclear power plants
Risk assessment for aging nuclear power plants
Ongoing challenges of NPPs maintenance
Financial & economic framework
Workforce development in nuclear industry
Challenges of licence extension
Nuclear power plant Long-Term Operations
Public Concerns for aging nuclear power plants
