Summer School on Implementation of Emerging Technologies 2025


 In co-operation with the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC), the Halden HTO Project will continue the successful tradition of providing knowledge transfer to the young generation and contribution to competence building in the nuclear industry. Therefore, the Halden HTO Project will organise a Summer school on Implementation of emerging technologies, 31st August – 4th September 2025, in Halden Norway. 

Publisert: 31. March 2025

The rapid technological development provides new opportunities for the nuclear industry, but safe implementation might also imply new considerations and requirements. The aim of the 2025 Summer school is therefore to address various considerations related to implementation of emerging technologies in new and modernised plants. The lectures will cover topics such as: examples of emerging technologies, relevant standards and guidelines, approaches and methods related to function allocation, the control room design process and issues related to safety and security assurance. 

The summer school is primarily aimed to reach young professionals in the start of their career and will provide useful insights from the perspectives of the regulators, vendors and utilities. However, the summer school may be useful also for more experienced people motivated for learning more about the topic. The lectures will be supported by examples from the Halden HTO experimental program. To emphasize the networking aspect of the event, this will be an in-person event only.
