10th Symposium on Nuclear Techniques
On 1 and 2 December 2011, the Hungarian Nuclear Society (HNS) organised its annual Symposium on Nuclear Techniques, in Budapest. The Symposium was the 10th in a series of annual national scientific meetings. The main aim of these symposia is to disseminate among the members of HNS data relating to the application of nuclear techniques in different areas. This year the Symposium included sessions (plenary sessions and round table discussions) on the following subjects:
-
Nuclear knowledge management
-
Fusion research
-
Fukushima events and lessons
-
Paks NPP stress test results
-
Other miscellaneous topics
Representatives of other energy-related civil organisations, for example the Hungarian Energy Society, the Hungarian Electro-technics Society, the Hungarian Society for Energy Utilisation and Energy and the Energy Council, informed members during the round table discussions about Hungary’s National Energy Strategy and how nuclear will play a key role in it for the next 20 years. There was general consensus that future cooperation between the Hungarian Nuclear Society and the other partner organisations should be further developed.
The Symposium was attended by about 100 nuclear experts from Hungary, including colleagues from the utility, from the regulatory body, from engineering companies, from R&D institutions and students from grammar schools and universities.
