12Jun2019: Publication of new issues of ENIQ Guidance Documents

The European Network for Inspection and Qualification (ENIQ) is a network dealing with the reliability and effectiveness of non-destructive testing (NDT) for nuclear power plants (NPPs). ENIQ is driven by European nuclear utilities and is working mainly in the areas of qualification of NDT systems and risk-informed in-service inspection (RI-ISI). Since its establishment in 1992 ENIQ has performed two pilot studies on in-service inspection (ISI) qualification and has issued more than 60 documents. ENIQ is recognised as one…

24May2019: SNETP & NUGENIA come together to form a single legal entity

We made it!!!

The Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) has agreed with the international association NUGENIA to join efforts by creating one single international association. Together they will aim to strengthen the positioning of nuclear energy in today’s and tomorrow’s European energy mix and consolidate European research, development, demonstration and innovation (R&D&I) on fission technologies.

This union is an important milestone highlighting the engagement of the European scientific…

Look back at NUGENIA Forum 2019

The NUGENIA Forum 2019 was held on 13-15 March 2019 at Cité Universitaire, in Paris. During three days, more than 260 participants from 90 organisations exchanged on “Innovation for existing Gen II & III nuclear power plants”.

NUGENIA president, Michel Maschi (EDF) officially opened the Forum by welcoming the audience and presenting the association. As innovation can have different meanings, six successive keynote speeches were given on the first day plenary sessions to help corner and define its various applications for nuclear in terms of safety, digital, risk assessment, decommissioning,…
