ENS Yearbook 2002 Preliminary ENC 2002 Update

On the cover: BNFL’s new interactive exhibition in the UK – sparking reaction – is energizing the debate about nuclear power. The exhibition opened at the company’s Sellafield plant in June and uses state-of-the-art digital technology to transport visitors into a ‘virtual world’ where they can make decisions on energy policy – and see the impact of their choices! BNFL has given the London Science Museum editorial control of the exhibition to underline its commitment to provoking a balanced and independent debate about nuclear power and electricity generation.

Wherever you are in the world, you too can experience sparking reaction via a special interactive Web site (www.sparkingreaction.info) due to be launched in July.

ENC 2002 Preliminary Programme + Britain

On the cover: An artist’s impression of the Westinghouse AP1000 advanced passive reactor. In February 2002, BNFL and British Energy signed a one-year agreement to assess the feasibility of the AP1000 design as a potential replacement for the UK's existing nuclear plants. This agreement follows the recent publication of three influential reports into energy policy, which all recognised the importance of retaining the nuclear option.

November-December 2000

Japan:

an astonishing nation with a unique historical background and a remarkable success story in nuclear energy.

Experts from Europe and Japan share their views and latest experiences. Others demonstrate how East and West work together, stimulating new solutions. Of course, painful incidents like the one at JCO-Tokai will not fade away: the question is what lessons can be learned. A statement from a nuclear insider-outsider on public acceptance rounds off NEW's November-December 2000 edition.

European R&D

A constant and high-quality R&D program is essential for any technological progress – not only but particularly in nuclear.

NEW’s September-October issue pays tribute to that fact. The issue approaches the subject from different ways: touching upon the financial conditions, encouraging supra-national cooperation, presenting some of the latest top results – and last but not least views of how nuclear research will continue in Europe.
