Amidst European phased target of achieving zero emissions by 2035 and energy independence, nuclear power industry is playing a vital role in achieving a sustainable and resilient energy future for the continent. Despite facing challenges, opportunities for new nuclear power plant construction are arising in recent years, notably with advanced designs like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Many aging nuclear plants present chances for life extension and upgrades. Advancements in fuel cycle & waste management also offer potential for reducing the volume and radiotoxicity of nuclear waste. Thus, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to extend this invitation to you for the Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 on Nov. 13-14th, 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic with the theme of “Elevating Europe's Energy Landscape with Nuclear Power: Secure, Sustainable, and Innovative”.

Developed by STELLARIA, a start-up spin-off from the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA, French Nuclear State Agency) and SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC, the STELLARIUM project aims to study, develop and manufacture molten-salt fast neutron nuclear reactors to decarbonise industry. The reactor concept provides 250 MW of thermal power (heat at 600°C) or 110 MW of electrical power (electrical efficiency of 45%) during 20 years without. This is achieved using fast neutrons to fission and fertilise the fuel inside the reactor vessel. The reactor operates by natural convection in normal operation, which simplifies the design and increases the level of nuclear safety. This type of reactor is highly dispatchable, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial applications. All of the reactor's components are designed to be exchangeable, which facilitates maintenance and repair operations.
