Paris gets ready to host global nuclear industry 28-30 November
The Indian civil nuclear development plans will feature at the fifth edition of the World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE) to be held in Paris 28-30 Nov 2023, which will have over 650 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees from 76+ countries
It is the largest civil nuclear event by GIFEN (the French Nuclear Industry Association) and organized by RX France.
The organizers noted that India and France are aiming to expand bilateral cooperation to establish a partnership focused on the co-development of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) technologies.
The plan for partnership follows India’s commitment to expanding its nuclear power capacity which is currently 7,480 MW, according to a release on the event by GIFEN (the French Nuclear Industry Association).
Nuclear energy plays a pivotal role in India’s energy transition, aligning with its goal of achieving a net-zero economy.
Furthermore, 2023 marks a significant milestone, as it commemorates the 25th anniversary of the India-France strategic partnership.
During this milestone year, nuclear industry officials from both nations have reiterated the strength of the India-France civil nuclear ties and acknowledged the progress in discussions for Jaitapur nuclear power plant project, said the organisers.
As a global platform for the civil nuclear industry, WNE will unite decision-makers from around the world. So far, more than seventeen countries representing major nuclear players globally, participate in the event with national pavilions. These include China, Canada, South Korea, Japan, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, the United States and France.
Given the pressing challenges posed by the current climate and energy crisis, the theme for this fifth edition of WNE is clear, “Connecting Nuclear to the World: Rising to the energy and environmental challenges”.
Over the course of three days, decision-makers, industry professionals, and experts will delve into various aspects of this theme, including:
New Nuclear Projects: Preparing for Serial Production
Advancing the Nuclear Industry through Territorial Development and Digitalization
Maximizing Benefits for Society: Nuclear Applications in Healthcare, Hydrogen, and Heat Production
Cultivating a Diverse Pool of Talent for the Success of the Nuclear Industry
Prospects and Challenges of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and Advanced Modular Reactor (AMR) Technologies.
The organisers have planned 130+ panel discussions, keynotes, tribunes, and workshops, throughout the event. Fiinews.com
