đ€ Plenary sessions
Opening – Plenary 1Nuclear power contribution to support the security of energy supply of countries weakened by their crude oil and natural gas import dependency while contributing to their climate-neutral neutrality ambition, with a focus on impact on the nuclear fuel cycle.
Plenary 2Â Fuel cycle options considering circular economy, environmental impact, and public support to enhance the positioning of nuclear power in the low CO2 energy mix.
Plenary 3Progress status on DGR development and associated predisposal management for spent fuel and HLW.
Plenary 4SMR-Emerging reactor System concepts: development and deployment perspectives of the different technologies  highlighting fuel cycle requirements and fuel cycle constraints.
(a)Technical visit
Visit of Industrial facility for grouping, storage and disposal (Cires): Disposal of very low-level waste (VLLW) since 2003. Collecting radioactive waste produced by activities other than nuclear power production. Temporary storage of radioactive waste from sources other than nuclear power production, pending the development of suitable disposal solutions. Sorting and processing certain waste items.
