Dear colleagues,

This summer, the Czech Republic took an important step towards decarbonizing energy: The choice of KHNP as the reactor vendor for a new large nuclear power plant, which ultimately excluded EDF, was a bit of a surprise. In recent years, EDF built new projects in Finland and is going to finish Hinkley Point C in UK, and KHNP completed 3 units of a nuclear power plant in the UAE, and will deliver the 4^th Unit by this year.

However, as KHNP has never built a major project in Europe, the contract negotiations for next steps will be remarkable. According to Czech government, "The details of the contract will be finalized and signed in the first quarter of next year (2025)." According to the plan, KHNP will build two new units at the Dukovany nuclear power plant in CEZ and will discuss the option of building two more units at the Temelin power plant.

No further information has been released since the announcement. But earlier in the same month that KHNP was chosen, Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade established a new Nuclear Energy and New Technologies Section, which aims to “support the development of nuclear energy, which is a key pillar of the Czech Republic’s energy supply”. What will be the specific progress of this impressive project in the second half of this year? At the same time, will the Czech SMR projects also make greater progress?

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.
