Dear colleagues,

According to our research of nuclear power industry, there are a lot potential opportunity in Europe for recent years in order to achieve zero CO2 emissions from 2035.

One of the main challenges is financing. According to analyze, eight nuclear projects in EU have received more than €1 billion in financing since 2000. While, in contrast, the European Investment Bank has lent more than €10 billion for renewable energy investments in 2021 alone. But the nuclear power construction opportunities are still growing, mostly based on government fund.

It’s also essential for development of SMR technology, which is highly correlated with investment support. There is not much time left for the European companies as SMR technology in the United States, China and Russia has matured. Besides public fund, are there other financing source could be considered for nuclear power industry?

About the Europe Nuclear Energy & SMR Conference 2024 (ENES 2024), Nov. 13-14th | PragCzech Republic (ENES2024) - click here for official website:

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.
