Building Competences in Nuclear Materials – Requirements and Practical Experiences

Free workshop

English (no translation)

The importance of materials is crucial at all stages of a nuclear facility's lifecycle. All stakeholders – the regulator, investor/operator, and supply chain companies – must have personnel who clearly understand the requirements and how to meet them. Competence development is essential from the very beginning of an investment project and should continue throughout its entire implementation. In addition to purely technical issues, organisational aspects must also be considered, and attention paid to safety culture.

Based on Finnish and Polish experiences, the workshop will provide an overview of building competencies in the area of materials used in nuclear power plants. Conclusions from past activities and good practices will be presented, related issues will be discussed in the context of the Polish nuclear energy programme, and potential directions for further cooperation will be indicated.

The workshop will be held on March 18, 2026, at Amberexpo, ul. Żaglowa 11, in Gdańsk during Power Connect (conference centre hall 3, 2nd floor, access will be signposted).
