Lithuanian Nuclear Energy Association organizes the conference “New nuclear projects in different European countries”. The event will be held on 3rd of October, 2024 at Kaunas Technological University, Conference Center of Santakos valley.
Speakers from leading countries of the nuclear industry like France, UK, Czech Republic and Finland will present their national nuclear energy programs and provide more details about ongoing and planned projects. Representatives from Poland, Estonia and Italy will speak about the planned projects and their implementation.
Participation is free of charge. Please register by e-mail lbea@lbea.lt. The preliminary program of the conference is available here
We will be glad to welcome you at our event!
On April 2nd 2024 the president of the Association Osvaldas Čiukšys, and member of the board of the Association and director of the Lithuanian Institute of Energy Sigitas Rimkevičius participated in the Lithuanian Radio broadcast regarding the future of nuclear energy in Lithuania. The broadcast was arranged right after the presentation of the new Lithuanian energy independence strategy where it's foreseen that nuclear energy can take 20-30 per cent of the domestic energy generation. There were many arguments presented against and in favour of the sector development. It is important to admit that 52 per cent of the listeners are voting in favour of new electricity generation technologies development in Lithuania, including nuclear energy.
On October 27th, 2023, the president of the Association Osvaldas Čiukšys and the member of the Board and director of the Lithuanian Energy Institute Sigitas Rimkevičius participated in the discussion "Nuclear - is it back on the policymakers' agenda?" during the Baltic Energy Forum organized by main business daily "Verslo žinios". Participants of the discussion gave actual examples of the decisions taken by governments of various countries, new projects and trends in the sector. These arguments show special attention to nuclear energy, which is obvious in the energy policy of different leading countries. Participants of the discussion answered numerous questions from the auditorium. It was a nice opportunity to present the latest news about the sector to Lithuanian energy professionals.
The Lithuanian Nuclear Energy Association organized an international conference, "New trends in nuclear reactors: small modular reactors. Experience of leading countries and developers". The event was held on June 15, 2023, at the premises of the Lithuanian Academy of Science and was attended by more than 100 participants from different countries. Guests and speakers were welcomed by the President of the Academy of Science, Prof. Jūras Banys. The conference had many distinguished speakers, including the President of the European Nuclear Society (ENS), Prof. . Leon Cizelj. Many topics were presented and discussed during the conference: the national nuclear programs of different neighboring countries, the newest developments in small modular reactor (SMR) technologies and their ability to ensure stable and green energy generation, as well as SMRs wide application in different sectors of the economy. A lot of interest was generated by the presentations on the outgoing EU projects in this field.
The Lithuanian Nuclear Energy Association is thankful to Orlean Synthos Green Energy, UAB Toromega, UAB Tecos, and the Lithuanian Energy Institute for their valuable support in organizing this important conference.
On April 4 2023 the president of the Association Osvaldas Čiukšys had a lecture about the small modular reactors at the faculty of Electricity and Electronics of Kaunas University of Technology. The participants of the event exchanged their views and insights on the development of SMR technology.
