Overview

CON6533_1170x481

"This is a timely event because ageing assets are a challenge across industry. Many facilities are operating at or beyond their design life, so everyone is affected by these topics. The ONR wants to be transparent about what is and is not required from dutyholders, and this conference is a great opportunity for these sorts of discussions."
Douglas Styles: Nuclear Safety Inspector – Mechanical Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulation

In the UK, around 21% of electricity is currently generated by nuclear power, though the vast majority of generating sites are either highly mature or are in various stages of decommissioning.

In the last year, several high-profile nuclear projects have been indefinitely postponed or cancelled. In the absence of more new projects, nuclear operators must constantly work to ensure the continued integrity and performance of their existing assets to avoid unscheduled downtime, reduce shutdowns and postpone eventual decommissioning.

With this in mind, the Managing Ageing Nuclear Assets conference will address the key engineering and regulatory challenges arising from the management of late and end of life nuclear installations and their associated infrastructure.

Learn about how to maximise the reliability, performance and lifetime of your nuclear fleet
Hear from key figures in the nuclear industry, including regulators, operators, contractors and service providers to better understand how to maximise the remaining value of their generating assets with existing budgets
Benefit from case studies involving submarines, defence, reprocessing plants and fuel disposal
Share lessons learnt from practical experience managing the engineering challenges posed by installations at the extreme of or beyond their operational life

WHY ATTEND?:

Understand your legal responsibilities for your ageing assets and stay compliant with legislation: hear guidance from Office for Nuclear Regulation, Environment Agency and Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
Address the specific risks involved with maintaining and decommissioning ageing nuclear assets, including loss of structural integrity, reduced operational limits, graphite core degradation, out-of-production parts, site security and more
Learn how operators are cost-effectively managing and converting older assets: presenters include Magnox Sites, Dounreay, Atkins, National Nuclear Laboratory and EDF Energy
Take away the latest updates to achieve accurate and complex inspections, data gathering and more detailed testing from research and academia: contributing organisations include University of Manchester, Institution of Obsolescence Management and UK Atomic Energy Agency

OUR SPEAKERS EXPLAIN WHY YOU NEED TO ATTEND

"To learn from new and exisiting technologies across the industry so save reinventing the wheel"
Mick Jones, Maintenance Authority, Site Asset Manager and Asset Disposal Officer, Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd

"To find out latest developments in the industry"
Barry Lennox: Professor of Applied Control, University of Manchester

KEY TOPICS TO BE COVERED:

Asset integrity for operating plants: Address challenges for effective testing, fault detection, maintenance and repair works to maintain and increase efficiency.

Maintaining non-operational assets: ensure equipment scheduled for decommissioning does not fail prior to the start of work.

Life extension for existing installations: understand and reduce the risks associated with pushing assets beyond their planned lifetimes.

Understand your regulatory obligations for ageing assets: how does current legislation impact equipment designed decades earlier and how can you meet these requirements in a cost-effective manner to ensure a return on investment.

Effective planning for decommissioning: understand the issues of decommissioning generating equipment and facilities that have degraded or been allowed to fall into disrepair, together with related safety and environmental responsibilities.
