Juraj Václav, Director of UJD SR, Slovakia to Update New Storage Capacity for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference (ENES 2024) | Nov. 13-14th | Prague, Czech Republic
(Elevating Europe's Energy Landscape with Nuclear Power: Secure, Sustainable, and Innovative.)
Dear colleagues,
>> Last week for Special Early Bird Discount before June 30th, 2024:
8% discount for Sponsor, USD 300 discount for delegate
While the neighboring Czech Republic is pushing ahead with a tender for its Dukovany 5 nuclear power plant and is on the verge of naming the winning bidders from French state nuclear giant EDF or Korea's KHNP in July, Slovakia just announced to pushing forward its new nuclear reactor plan at the Jaslovske Bohunice nuclear plant on May, 2024.
Some preparation works in Slovakia about spent fuel management is on the plan. Based on the Spent Fuel output of the currently operating nuclear power plants, and considering the grid connection of Mochovce 3 in early 2023 and the start-up of the Mochovce 4 NPP, the intermediate storage facility of Slovakia will be sufficient by 2022. As a result, the country’s Interim Spent Fuel Storage (ISFS) Capability Expansion project has been developed and has been under construction.
What’s the updated progress of ISFS capacity expansion now? What’s Slovakia’s experiences about safety during nuclear waste management and spent fuel disposal?
| Recently, Juraj Václav, Division of Nuclear Materials, Department of Safety Evaluation and Inspection Activities, Nuclear Regulatory Authority (UJD SR), Slovakia has confirmed to join the Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 (ENES 2024), Nov. 13-14th | Prague, Czech Republic (ENES2024) as keynote Speaker to make a presentation about “The Licensing of New Storage Capacity for Spent Nuclear Fuel”. |
The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic (ÚJD SR) is a central government authority of the Slovak Republic for nuclear regulation. The authority exercises state supervision over nuclear safety of nuclear installations, including radioactive waste management, spent fuel management and other stages of the fuel cycle, over nuclear materials, including their inspection and registration, as well as over physical protection of nuclear installations and nuclear materials provided for by the relevant license holder.

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. The conference will provide thorough updates on the civil nuclear industry in Czech Republic, Poland, France, Slovakia, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Slovenia, Finland.
After experiencing delays and cost escalations in some NPP constructions & upgrades, how would the industry solve key challenges such as lengthy regulatory approval processes, public opposition, financing constraints, human resources and skills shortages? What kind of strategies and approaches are needed for deploying SMRs soon in Europe? How to balance the pros and cons of spent fuel recycling and direct disposal for the sustainable and economical perspective? With over 240 senior attendees from the Government & Regulators, Utilities & Operators, Large Reactor & SMRs, Fuel Cycle & Waste Management, Institute & Universities, Associations, EPC & Engineering Consulting, Professional Services, Leading Technology Firms, and Other Key Stakeholders, the 2-day Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 seeks to accelerate nuclear power projects and unlock the full potential of nuclear energy to contribute to European energy transition goals, while ensuring safety, sustainability, and affordability.
