21st International Nuclear Energy for New Europe Conference, Ljubljana, 5-7 September, 2012

The Nuclear Society of Slovenia (NSS) cordially invites you to take part in the traditional annual international conference entitled: Nuclear Energy for New Europe, which will be held in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, from 5-7 September, 2012.

The focus for this year’s conference will be sustainable nuclear energy use. The conference will feature prominent guest speakers from ENSREG (European Nuclear Safety Regulators’ Group), the OECD/NEA (Nuclear Energy Agency) and WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators), who will highlight the importance of nuclear power as a sustainable energy source.

The presentations will be followed by scientific and technical oral and poster sessions, which will cover a wide variety of aspects connected to the peaceful utilisation of nuclear energy: from the technical aspects of operating an NPP, to a broad range of different scientific topics related to nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

The conference is traditionally a focal point for decision-makers, opinion-leaders from the nuclear sector, potential investors, regulatory bodies, nuclear research and educational institutions from Europe and around the world to discuss the main issue of the day.

Last year’s conference, the twentieth in a row, was held in Bovec and attracted over 180 participants from all over Europe, Asia and America.

We are very pleased to invite you to submit your abstracts, which can be on a variety of topics, for the upcoming conference . The deadline for abstracts submission is 15 May 15, 2012 (www.nss.si/ljubljana2012/images/downloads/call_for_papers.pdf).
