Welcome to
Nuclear Build Construction Challenges Conference
Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 March 2010, Hilton Kensington hotel, London, UK
The nuclear industry is seeing massive growth, not just in the UK but across Europe. 10 new nuclear power plants are set to be built in the UK with approvals granted in the next 12 months and targets for the first plants to be operational as early as 2018. Across Europe governments are responding to clean energy targets by endorsing nuclear solutions, but there are a multitude of construction challenges to be overcome before the industry can benefit from this.
Operators and developers still face challenges in their construction process, including
- Licensing for gaining approval for your proposal
- Environmental issues around construction
- Site selection for your plant
- Community buy-in at a time when nuclear power is still controversial
- Engineering challenges during construction
- Lack of skilled workforce for construction and operational needs
- Cost controls at a time when raw material costs are unpredictable
- Transmission and larger grid capacities being developed in line with your project
- Supply chain in new locations to ensure on-time delivery
- Government collaboration on an ongoing basis
- HSE requirements affecting your scheduling
Join us for this respected and senior-level conference taking place in London on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 March 2010, to network with your peers and uncover tried-and-tested solutions to these and other critical issues you face.
With country case studies and presentations from industry figureheads involved in new nuclear build and construction, can you afford to miss out?
