Technical Cooperation Project INT/2/017:
"Capacity building in long-range strategic nuclear energy planning for global sustainability."
INPRO Dialogue Forum on Global Nuclear Energy Sustainability:
Long-term Prospects for Nuclear Energy in the Post-Fukushima Era
27-31 August 2012
Seoul, Republic of Korea
The INPRO Dialogue Forum brings together nuclear technology users, holders and other stakeholders from interested Member States to discuss issues related to sustainable nuclear energy development and deployment.
This Dialogue Forum workshop is the first one ever hosted by a Member State, the Republic of Korea. The meeting, which is the 5th in the series of the INPRO Dialogue Forum, aims to discuss and identify key issues to ensure the long-range sustainability of nuclear energy on the national, regional, and global level, in the light of lessons learned from Fukushima.
The workshop is conducted in cooperation with the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and other IAEA programmes, including the Planning and Economic Studies Section (PESS) and the Nuclear Power Technology Development Section (NPTDS). This Dialogue Forum is an activity in the IAEA TC Project INT/2/017: "Capacity building in long-range strategic nuclear energy planning for global sustainability."
