Modelling in Nuclear Science and Engineering Seminar

By SWNH editor on 4th November 2020 in

Covid-19 note from the organisers: Subject to any special measures being in place at this time, we are assuming at least a limited physical attendance, and are therefore planning around this likelihood, along with an interactive webcast. Should restrictions prevent physical attendance, then the Seminar will be delivered purely via an on-line platform.

The Nuclear Institute is delighted to announce this year’s Modelling in Nuclear Science and Engineering seminar will be held at Bangor University, North Wales.

The University’s Nuclear Futures Institute is developing a world-leading capability in nuclear science and engineering, fostering industrial links and opportunities and works closely with the BWR Hub. The Nuclear Futures Institute is also a key partner in the EPSRC sponsored Centre for Doctoral Training in Nuclear Energy Futures.

This event is designed to further explore recent innovative developments in engineering simulation, and inspire the modelling communities in order to help reduce uncertainties associated with the analysis that in many cases support the plant design, its supporting safety case and operation.

Our 2020 event will see a mixture of invited prominent speakers from the nuclear community, where the latest advances and learning from modelling in nuclear science and engineering will be discussed; and we are seeking abstracts from designers, practitioners or researchers who wish to submit a presentation at this popular seminar.

Tickets

Early bird booking deadline is Friday 4th September- £50-£180
Standard rate booking deadline is Saturday 5th September- £50-£260

Introduction to the UK EPR Design Centre

By SWNH editor on 2nd September 2020 in

Tilly Spencer (Edvance UK Director) and Nicolas Courade (Edvance UK Head of Site Support) will talk to the Nuclear Institute Western Branch network about EDVANCE UK and the new UK EPR Design Centre. The ongoing ‘Engineering Transformation’ involving these organisations will create a UK centre of design expertise for EPR reactor construction, based on EDVANCE UK and DIPNN UK experience. These organisations will support Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and other future UK Projects from Aztec West in the north of Bristol.

Intro to Nuclear New Build and Power Generation

By Barry Dolan on 4th September 2019 in

Delegates will be exposed to the past, present and future of nuclear power production, through technical seminars presented by representatives from across the industry, as well as a tour of Hinkley Point C Construction Site.

Seminars will discuss a variety of key topics within the industry, including history of nuclear power production, electricity generation and the operation of the national grid.

Many of the ideas from the seminars will then be observed first hand on the tour of Hinkley Point C Construction site and the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) Simulator

A formal dinner will provide the opportunity to network with people across the industry, including our main speaker Stuart Crooks, Managing Director of Hinkley Point C
