IFNEC Latin American Nuclear Energy Stakeholders' Conference - October 2016

The International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC) held a “Latin American Nuclear Energy Stakeholders Conference,” on 25-26 October 2016, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Conference focused on challenges and opportunities facing countries within Latin America that are either considering or planning to deploy new nuclear electricity generating capacity.

This Conference provided an opportunity, based on an interactive and dynamic program, for more than 220 participants from a broad array of government and industry stakeholders to come together in order to share information, understand the challenges facing the region with respect to the safe, secure and sustainable use of nuclear energy, and to identify opportunities and solutions to such challenges.

Keynote presentations were provided by the Argentine Minister of Energy and Mining, the Undersecretary of Nuclear Energy from the Ministry of Energy and Mining and the Director-General of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, as well as other leading stakeholders from Latin America.
The Conference began with presentations of national perspectives on the challenges and opportunities with deploying nuclear energy in Latin American markets from Bolivia, Chile and Paraguay
An interactive panel of experts assuming the various stakeholder roles of a nuclear power project (such as vendor, energy planning authority, national utility, etc.) participated in a moderated, hypothetical scenario exercise aimed at grappling with the key challenges and opportunities facing Latin American markets considering or planning to deploy nuclear energy projects.
A session was conducted on issues related to infrastructure development priorities with presentations and panel discussions on topics that include national and regional human capital development, regulatory matters, training and information sharing.
The final session of the Conference addressed the important back – end question of how countries can assure that the necessary financial and other key resources will be available in the future to manage the inventory of spent fuel for whatever resolution is chosen.

London Finance Workshop - May 2012

The IFNEC Finance Workshop, held in London, United Kingdom on May 9 and 10, 2012, brought together a broad spectrum of approximately 130 stakeholders from the IFNEC countries, including government representatives and members of the nuclear energy and the financial communities. The Workshop’s goals included the following: gain a stronger understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with the financing of nuclear power projects, create a forum in which major stakeholders are able to discuss these matters, and identify specific actions IFNEC countries could consider taking, individually or collectively. Through expert-led scenario discussions about hypothetical projects in expanding and emerging nuclear power programs and small breakout discussion sessions, Workshop attendees garnered a better understanding of each other’s roles related to nuclear energy financing and the challenges and opportunities facing stakeholders interested in nuclear power finance.

Participants and Hosts of the IFNEC Finance, Regulatory and Energy Planning Authority Workshop, in Abu Dhabi, UAE on October 22, 2013.

The International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC) held a Finance/Regulatory/Energy Planning Authority Workshop on October 22, 2013, in the Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Workshop was hosted by Abu Dhabi’s Regulation and Supervision Bureau. It came as a follow-up to its 2012 London Finance Workshop that identified and discussed the challenges countries face in financing nuclear power projects. The three key findings of the London Workshop were, 1.) the importance of an effective, independent regulatory body, 2.) the essential role of government commitment and support, and 3.) the need for a sound business/project plan.

The Abu Dhabi Workshop built on the outcomes of the London Finance Workshop, and in particular the role of the regulatory body. The Workshop focused on the critical relationships between the competence, effectiveness, transparency and independence of the nuclear safety regulatory authority in an embarking country, and the country’s ability to finance a nuclear power project. A second focus was on the role that long term electricity purchase agreements can play in the financing of a nuclear power project in an embarking country. Such agreements are an important financing consideration today and present challenges for energy planning authorities. The Workshop identified and addressed issues and options associated with pursuing this approach to financing.
The Workshop followed the interactive and experiential model used with success in London by having experts “role play” in open discussions about financing issues surrounding a hypothetical nuclear project, followed by all attendees participating in focused breakout discussions that explored key issues in greater detail.

Small Modular Reactor Workshop - June 2014

The IFNEC Steering Group conducted a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Workshop which was hosted by the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission in Jordan, June 11-12, 2014, in the Dead Sea. The goal of this invitation-only workshop was to bring together, under the auspices of the 63 countries of IFNEC, the full spectrum of key stakeholders necessary to successfully deploy SMRs in order to gain an enhanced enterprise wide understanding of how SMRs could be effectively deployed in specific types of markets while identifying key challenges and opportunities.

This enterprise-wide approach convened experts and stakeholders (e.g., vendors, utilities, export credit agencies, insurers, nuclear safety and security regulators, energy planning authorities, export credit agencies etc.) with presentations and role playing for an interactive and insightful look at various SMR deployment options and approaches. Discussions explored approaches and options for countries with limited capital, credit and infrastructure, as well as those with substantial capital, credit and infrastructure. IFNEC’s Participants, Observers and International Organizations were invited. Over 120 people attended the SMR Workshop. Subsequently, the Steering Group Committee released a publicly available Report on the SMR Workshop. CLICK HERE to review the report.
