This meeting has a long tradition as it has evolved from a national conference to a regional meeting and after more than ten years it has gained a true international character.
This year the conference’s theme followed the general trend of nuclear revival in Europe with wide-ranging look at current developments in the different fields related to nuclear industry, research, education and regulation.
