The 2nd Annual Conference on Small Nuclear Reactors (SMR) was held at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering on 11 February. It offered a profile of economic, technical and legislative conditions for the eventual construction of small nuclear reactors in the Czech Republic. The event was held under the auspices of the Minister of Industry and Trade, Ing. Jan Mládek, PhD.
The conference program has focused on wide range of uses of small reactors in conditions of the Czech Republic. These plants could serve as substitutes for coal power plants, in heat production, or to stabilize future power grid based on decentralization and renewable energy. Prominent experts in the use of small nuclear reactors, both from academia and the private sector,gave lectures.
EventEra organized the event in cooperation with the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering and Nuclear Research Institute. Next year's conference will be held on 9 February, 2017.
