ICOND - 3rd International Conference on Nuclear Decommissioning

In the next 10 years over 100 nuclear power plants (NPPs) will be shut down worldwide. In Germany eight NPPs were unexpectedly shut down due to political decisions taken in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi accident. The remaining nine currently operating NPPs will be out of operation by the year 2022. In total, over 36 billion Euros worth of accruals were accumulated for the decommissioning of German reactors. In the future there will be a critical time period reached when more than 35 nuclear facilities will be decommissioned in parallel, in Germany alone. To meet this challenging task there is a need for competent service providers and experts.

The 3rd International Conference on Nuclear Decommissioning (ICOND) provides a platform for professional exchange among stakeholders. It focuses on various decommissioning strategies, as well as on project management. Participants are decision-makers, key personnel, managers of the electric supply companies and regulatory authorities, as well as managing directors from the nuclear industry. Over 350 people are expected to attend the conference. National and international experts will present their best practice solutions and strategies.

ICOND takes place from the 28 - 30 October 2014 in Essen (Germany). Especially for international guests a Pre-Conference Workshop will take place on 27 October. Its aim is to introduce and discuss the status and framework of decommissioning in Germany, as well as to review decommissioning technologies.

The conference is complemented by a trade fair. Exhibitors include AMEC, TÜV Rheinland Industry Service, ORTEC, NUKEM Technologies, Gradel and many more. If you are interested in booking an exhibition booth please contact:
