  • Evening Lecture – Decommissioning a nuclear installation? Yes we can!

    Boulevard Simon Bolivar 34-36 1000 Brussels, Belgium

    The BR3 project was selected in 1989 as European pilot decommissioning project. This pilot project concerned the decontamination and dismantling of a pilot PWR plant. Several techniques of dismantling (and decontamination) were developed and tested in real scale on actual active materials, representative of future commercial NPP dismantling. At the same time the main principles ... Read more

  • Evening Lecture – Removal of the nuclear tax: Swedish nuclear industry is ready for Round 2

    Avenue Ariane 7 1200 Brussels, Belgium

    In June 2016 an historical political agreement was made in Sweden, which put an end to 40 years of nuclear power debate. Five political parties, representing a Governmental majority, signed a framework agreement allowing a removal of the nuclear tax that could have led to the closure of all nuclear plants in Sweden. Nevertheless, four ... Read more

  • Evening Lecture – Thorium fuel

    Boulevard Simon Bolivar 34-36 1000 Brussels, Belgium

    Thorium has recently been presented in the press as “the green future of nuclear” and it might seem as if thorium based fuel cycles are a recent breakthrough that remained overlooked for decades. Actually, this is not the case: research on thorium as a possible alternative resource for nuclear energy applications has a long history ... Read more

  • Evening Lecture – Molten Salt Reactor

    Rue de l'Industrie 43 1400 Nivelles, Belgium

    Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) have gained worldwide interest in recent years due their appealing characteristics with respect to safety and resource utilisation. In this reactor type the fuel is a liquid salt containing the fissile and fertile material to maintain the nuclear chain reaction. The liquid salt also serves as the primary coolant, and as ...

  • Workshop – From nuclear data to a reliable estimate of spent fuel decay heat

    Boeretang 200 2400 Mol, Belgium

    Nuclear spent fuel continues to emit heat for hundreds of years challenging both intermediate and final disposal. A reliable estimate of this decay heat is of utmost importance for both the design and safe operation of the repositories. Combining state-of-the-art nuclear data, particle transport codes and uncertainty propagation tools, one can develop a procedure to ... Read more
