About the event

The international market for nuclear decommissioning services looks set to be worth £250 billion by 2030, and will continue growing as major nuclear countries begin shutting down their nuclear plants. ​Our virtual event aims to shine a spotlight on nuclear decommissioning challenges and to share some of the technical developments, innovations and lessons learned from decommissioning and radioactive waste management projects around the globe. It will include insight on decommissioning strategy and plans from power plant operators as well as those responsible for cleanup of hazardous legacy sites.​ ​Presentations, case studies and live Q&A sessions will bring the latest progress and innovations in the nuclear decommissioning sector straight to your desktop.

Event Time : 13:00 – 17:00 BST
