Nuclear Forum in the process of providing a roadmap for the development of nuclear power in the EU

The next meeting of the European Nuclear Energy Forum (ENEF), will take place in Prague (Czech Republic) on 22-23 May. The meeting will feature top level speakers including President Barroso, Energy Commissioner Piebalgs and the Prime Ministers of Czech Republic and Slovakia. It will be decisive in the process of defining the main priorities of a roadmap for the expansion and continuation of nuclear power in the European Union.

The Forum aims to promote an inclusive, transparent and non-ideological debate on nuclear between all the relevant stakeholders. It gathers for the first time a broad range of stakeholders – the nuclear industry, public authorities, the financial community and various sections of civil society.- in a debate on the future of nuclear energy in Europe.

Quotes

“Currently, nuclear energy provides more than a third of EU electricity. It has proven to be a stable, reliable source, relatively shielded from price fluctuations when compared to the oil and gas markets. Conventional nuclear energy is essentially free from CO₂ emissions and on the face of it, fulfills an important requirement of all of three pillars of the EU energy policy, which are competitiveness, security of supply and sustainability.”
Andris Piebalgs, EU Commissioner for Energy, in a speech at the European Nuclear Assembly, Tuesday 15 April 2008.
