SUMMARY:Powering the Future: Policy & Siting Strategies for New Nuclear
DESCRIPTION:The European Union is committed to providing secure and affordable energy for its competitive industry and all citizens. Nuclear energy\, accounting for almost one quarter of the electricity produced in the EU and representing 50% of the low-carbon electricity\, plays a crucial role in responding to these urgent needs. \nIn recent months\, numerous initiatives have emerged to underscore the pivotal role of nuclear energy in the EU’s decarbonisation efforts. The Nuclear Alliance of the EU Member States has recognised that nuclear could provide up to 150 GW of electricity capacity by 2050 in the EU compared to the approximately 100 GW of today. This will entail significant investments in new-built nuclear reactors. \nWithin this context\, Poland has decided to embark in a significant nuclear investment program in order to operate a paradigm shift and power the country\, its industry and households with a low carbon technology. In order to complete all the necessary steps to build its first nuclear power plant\, including large reactors and SMR and Advanced Modular Reactors\, many issues need to be taken into account. \nThis workshop wishes to focus on the key elements for development and deployment of nuclear\, namely policies and siting. \nThe purpose of the workshop is to engage with all stakeholders that can advance in nuclear development\, including policymakers\, developers\, end users and regions\, communities and municipalities. The first panel will focus on policy measures to support investments in the next generation of nuclear reactors. The second panel will focus on the issue of the siting of new nuclear plants\, covering topics such as the localisation of nuclear plants\, protecting human health and the environment in a community-driven way\, while balancing risk-based economic opportunities. \n  \nAn event co-organised by Nucleareurope in partnership with the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU and the Polish Ministry of Industry.

SUMMARY:Third NEA Preparatory Webinar: Building Effective Frameworks for Inclusive Stakeholder Engagement
DESCRIPTION:The third preparatory webinar in preparation for the Fourth NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop will focus on Building Effective Frameworks for Inclusive Stakeholder Engagement. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nThe NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshops (SIWS) are known for fostering active discussions and collaboration. The first edition was held in 2017 with a focus on stakeholder involvement in nuclear decision making. The second edition in 2019 focused on risk communication. The third workshop held in September 2023 was centred around the theme of optimisation in decision making. Other relevant workshops have included the joint NEA and DSA (Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority) workshop Regulatory Framework of Decommissioning\, Legacy Sites and Wastes from Recognition to Resolution: Building Optimisation into the Process (2019)\, the NEA workshop Optimisation: Rethinking the Art of the Reasonable (2020)\, and the NEA workshop Multifactor Optimisation of Predisposal Management of Radioactive Waste (2020). \nPower imbalances among stakeholders can be further intensified in cases where there is inadequate representation and/or limited resource availability to representatives from civil society and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in official forums and decision-making processes. The design of the decision-making process is crucial in effectively involving stakeholders. If the process lacks transparency and outcomes may be altered behind closed doors\, then the decision-making process has not been properly designed to balance power\, foster learning\, and enable consensus-building. \nThe NEA recognises the importance of continuing its work on stakeholder involvement\, which is a key goal outlined in its Strategic Plan 2023-2028. In this regard\, setting the stage for the fourth edition of the NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop in October 2025 is a priority. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar objectives\n\n\n\nThe third preparatory webinar for the Fourth NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop has the following overarching objectives: \n\nConsolidation of insights: Summarise and contextualise the key takeaways from the first two webinars (balanced power and influence\, mitigating power imbalances) to create a cohesive foundation for the workshop.\nFocus on practical tools: Discuss frameworks\, guidelines\, and mechanisms that enable inclusive stakeholder engagement\, focusing on how to operationalise the principles of equity\, trust\, and inclusivity. \nCase studies and best practices: Showcase or identify case studies where successful frameworks have been implemented to address stakeholder engagement challenges in the nuclear sector or similar contexts. Lead thought:  Why did it work; what are the lessons learned? \nPreparation for action: Generate actionable ideas and recommendations that participants can refine during the October workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget audience\n\n\n\nThe target audience includes a diverse range of stakeholders\, such as representatives from government institutions\, industry sector\, academic and research institutions\, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from NEA member countries and beyond. Particular focus will be placed on ensuring representative participation from civil society. Additionally\, the audience is set to include participants from previous editions of the NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop series. \nThe registration deadline for this webinar is 5 May 2025. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFourth NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop\nThe fourth edition of the NEA Stakeholder Involvement Workshop\, with the title Optimisation in Decision Making: From Insight to Action\, is scheduled to take place in Paris from 15–17 October 2025.\n\n\n\nRegistration is open on the event web page.

SUMMARY:IAEA Stakeholder Engagement Conference (May 26-30\, 2025\, Vienna\, Austria)
DESCRIPTION:Background\nNuclear energy can help countries achieve energy security\, climate goals and drive sustainable development. Engaging with stakeholders at all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle\, up to and including the disposal of radioactive waste\, is an essential part of any complete nuclear power programme. Involving stakeholders\, even those that do not have a direct role in making decisions\, can enhance public confidence\, support informed decision making and strengthen communication among the key organizations involved in nuclear power programmes. In this regard\, it is necessary to understand the opinions and concerns of stakeholders\, including the public\, and address these concerns effectively in a consistent and clear way. The factors that most influence stakeholders’ support include nuclear and radiation safety\, nuclear security\, waste management\, environmental impact and proliferation risks as well as the understanding of the benefits associated with a nuclear power programme. Building strong\, positive\, and long-term relationships with stakeholders is a key element for both existing and future nuclear power programmes. \nA nuclear power programme is a major undertaking and a long-term commitment\, for the entire facilities’ life cycle right through to final disposal of the ensuing waste. This requires careful planning\, preparation and investment in terms of time\, institutions\, and human resources. The IAEA Milestones Approach (NG-G-3.1 Rev.2 pre-print) identifies 19 infrastructure issues that need to be addressed during the three phases of nuclear infrastructure development to ensure the sustainable implementation of a nuclear power programme. Stakeholder engagement is one of those issues; it is also subject to IAEA Safety Requirements. \nThe IAEA has in place a set of activities to support Member States in the area of stakeholder engagement by providing guidance on communicating and engaging with both internal and external stakeholders and regularly holding international\, national and regional events on stakeholder engagement. \nIn response to increasing interest and requests for support on stakeholder engagement and communicating about nuclear energy\, the IAEA is organizing the first International Conference on Stakeholder Engagement for Nuclear Power Programmes from 26 to 30 May 2025\, in Vienna\, Austria. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurpose and Objectives\nThe conference will provide a global platform to exchange good practices\, experiences\, challenges and lessons learned related to stakeholder engagement for nuclear power programmes. It will enhance global understanding of diverse perspectives\, concerns\, and interests of stakeholders involved in nuclear power programmes at various levels. It will also share methods and approaches to address the concerns of stakeholders and incorporate their views into the decision-making process. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThe conference is open to participants from Member States that are embarking on or considering embarking on new nuclear power programmes as well as Member States with operating nuclear power plants\, including those considering expanding their nuclear power programmes. The conference is also open to participants from Member States implementing or planning to implement nuclear fuel cycle activities and/or radioactive waste management activities related to nuclear power programmes. Participants are expected to include stakeholder engagement practitioners and communication experts\, policy makers\, government officials\, regulators\, owners\, operators\, technical support organizations\, waste management organizations\, organizations which represent local community interests\, industry representatives\, research and academic institutions\, non‑governmental organizations and international organizations with an interest in stakeholder engagement for nuclear programmes. \nThe IAEA highly encourages the participation of women\, early career professionals\, and individuals from developing countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibitions\nA limited amount of space will be available for commercial vendors’ displays/exhibits during the conference. Interested parties should contact the Scientific Secretariat by email SEConf-2025 by 13 December 2024.

SUMMARY:European Forum for Radiation Protection 2025 : From Nuclear Risks to the Fight against Cancer – The Key Role of Radiation Protection for a Secure and Healthy Europe
DESCRIPTION:The European Forum for Radiation Protection 2025 addresses topics of nuclear risks preparedness and radiation protection in the health sector. \nWhile radiation always poses a risk to human health and the environment\, radiation research has led to a rapid technical and medical progress and prosperity. As a society\, we are frequently faced with questions of risk evaluation. Which risks are we willing to take and to what extent? These same questions need to be applied towards artificial and natural radiation. Better risk assessment and management is essential for protecting people’s health – whether in everyday life\, at the workplace\, in medicine and cosmetics\, and certainly in a nuclear emergency. Join the European radiation protection community at our event that will highlight the significance of radiation protection for European member states\, EU markets and society and address the necessity for political backing to enhance European and national efforts in radiation protection research\, policies\, and sustainable practices. It will serve as a forum to facilitate dialogue among European policymakers\, representatives from member states and experts.
