Climate, cost and security gather momentum to connect nuclear to the world at WNE
WELCOME TO THIS DEDICATED Nuclear Engineering International supplement for the 2023 World Nuclear Exhibition. Taking place in Paris from November 28th to November 30th, the over-arching theme is “Connecting Nuclear to the World: Rising to the energy and environmental challenges”. This theme is a clear reflection of the opportunity for nuclear power as a leading source of both reliable and dispatchable low-carbon power and demonstrates the clear intent to build on the gathering momentum that is rapidly transforming the prospects for the sector.
This is the fifth time the Exhibition has taken place and with more than 650 exhibitors and 20,000 participants from over 76 countries, it promises to be a historical one. As the world’s largest civil nuclear exhibition, the World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE) serves as an international platform for the global civil nuclear industry and as such brings together decision-makers, regulators and licencing authorities, the full spread of the industry supply chain, nuclear experts, and advisors, as well as the utilities and industrials that are the end users.
With more than 130 panel discussions, keynote presentations, tribunes, workshops, and some 6,000 business meetings taking place over the three days, the quality of the programme guarantees an informative and worthwhile event. The inaugural ceremony sets the tone, being led by Sylvie Bermann, President of the WNE, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Executive director of the International Energy Agency Fatih Birol, and European Commissioner Thierry Breton, while the keynote address will be delivered by Sama Bilbao y Léon, Director General of the World Nuclear Association.
Key themes will include a focus on new nuclear projects and how the industry can prepare for serial production, as well as exploring the prospects and challenges of small modular and advanced reactor technologies. Delegates will also be getting detailed information of specific nuclear programmes like those underway in host nation France that are set to lead nuclear deployment in Europe. Another strong thread running through the event will be advancing the nuclear Industry through emerging technologies like those associated with new digital developments. Sessions on the behaviour of digital I&C systems, remote monitoring and the power of data for better nuclear operations and much more are set to engage and inform all those who attend.
As well as sessions exploring new build, SMRs and emerging technologies there will also be many sessions focusing on some of the sectors biggest challenges including decommissioning and waste management and those related to maintaining a robust nuclear safety culture, and the relevant nuclear codes and technical publications. There will also be plenty to hear about the supply chain, recruitment and building a diverse pool of nuclear talent.
Another strong theme that will be running through the conference programme is the broad role that nuclear can play in improving society. This goes far beyond electricity production and includes the role of nuclear in healthcare and important factors for the global energy transition, such as hydrogen and heat production. WNE is a key calendar event and this year perhaps more than ever it will connect nuclear to the world.
