The SNETP FORUM is an annual event gathering organised by SNETP.
The event, which took place on 2 June in Lyon, France and was held within the framework of the FISA and EURADWASTE 10th Euratom conferences on Reactor Safety & Radioactive Waste Management gathered over 300 SNETP participants to discuss innovation R&D in civil nuclear fission, and a total of more than 550 participants attending the whole conference.
The Forum took place in the form of six technical sessions, each focusing on a different subject. Download the Forum Proceedings here. Links to presentations are available in the proceedings document and in the list below.
