About the conference:
The tendering process for construction of new nuclear reactors has become a major topic of Czech public debate in the recent months. It is no wonder, as it concerns hundreds of billions of crowns and the parties are aware that the big project might fail. After all, the companies that participate in the tender have had some failed projects.
How are the tenderers’ economic results and prospects viewed by experts from France, the United States and South Korea, the companies’ home countries? What were the reasons for projects in both Europe and the USA costing more than expected, causing the tenderers existential troubles? What are the financing options, and who will bear the risk of cost increases in the Czech Republic? What consequences may the government’s nuclear plan have for the national budget? Will the elections change the European Commission’s position on nuclear energy?
The objective of the international conference NEC 2024 was detailed discussion involving both international and Czech experts concerning exactly these questions, which ought to play a key role in the nuclear tender debate.
Hosted by Marie Bastlová.
The conference was organized by: Calla - Sdružení pro záchranu prostředí, Hnutí DUHA and Jihočeské matky.
