Welcome to the Nuclear Development in CEE conference

Under official patronage of Pomorskie Voievodship

Central and Eastern Europe has been moving towards nuclear energy for many years now. Recent geopolitical issues coupled with disruption to gas supplies have made nuclear development a top priority to ensure energy security within CEE.

"January 13, 2009 may go down in history as the beginning of Poland's nuclear programme. (...)The Government Says Poland Will Have a Nuclear Power Plant in 2020."
BBC, 17th January 2009

With projects under construction in Bulgaria and Lithuania, new legislation enabling nuclear new build in Poland, debates over new plant construction in Hungary and Slovakia and decommissioning processes planned across CEE...
