Who should attend?

All engineers involved in the management, maintenance, planning and procurement of nuclear assets should join and benefit from this event, including:

  • Site inspections, NDT/NDE and maintenance
  • Asset and technology management
  • Nuclear safety, compliance, and risk
  • Fuel procurement, storage, and transportation
  • Nuclear project management and procurement
  • Nuclear site decommissioning

How will I benefit?

  • Learn about opportunities to maximise asset management and integrity of ageing plants in association with sustainability guidelines
  • Share in cross sector learning and practical experiences of asset management from other high hazard industries
  • Gain insight into decommissioning best practice, planning and funding cycles
  • Benefit from F2F networking with key industry players and regulatory bodies to keep up to date with system changes current guidance
  • Get a sense of the direction of the industry in relation to technology and skills updates
  • Understand how to effectively work with an asset in operation beyond expected lifetime
  • Maintain current industry knowledge of decommissioning protocol and learn from others’ experiences of the process
Contributes 14 CPD hours

Key topics

  • Asset integrity for operating plants: Address challenges for effective testing, fault detection, maintenance and repair works to maintain and increase efficiency.
  • Maintaining non-operational assets: ensure equipment scheduled for decommissioning does not fail prior to the start of work.
  • Life extension for existing installations: understand and reduce the risks associated with pushing assets beyond their planned lifetimes.
  • Understand your regulatory obligations for ageing assets: how does current legislation impact equipment designed decades earlier and how can you meet these requirements in a cost-effective manner to ensure a return on investment.
  • Effective planning for decommissioning: understand the issues of decommissioning generating equipment and facilities that have degraded or been allowed to fall into disrepair, together with related safety and environmental responsibilities.
