Nuclear Safety and Risk Seminar on A Reflection on the Red Flags Raised in the US Nuclear Industry in Recent Years

Speaker:

Abstract:

After twenty-plus years of no-new-build period in the US, the US nuclear industry suffers from a broad range of shortages in people with needed technical expertise and work experience. Such problems have been clearly observed in the nuclear power plant modification and maintenance activities in the US. Are these only issues that exist in the US? Besides the expertise and experience matters, ‘lacking of technical conscience’ with some professionals also become a concern. Could these issues, as wondered by some people in the nuclear industry, also become problems on our land.

This seminar will share information from the lessons learned in the US and expand to other countries. Mainland China has had a very aggressive plan to build more nuclear power plants since 2004: Generation II, Generation II+, Generation III, and beyond. What does that mean for us and for the Hong Kong people?

International Nuclear Energy Forum:
Daya Bay 20 Years and Beyond: Challenges and Opportunities for Mainland Nuclear Industry

Backgroud:

2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station - the first commercial nuclear power plant in Mainland China.

Themed “Daya Bay 20 Years and Beyond: Challenges and Opportunities for Mainland Nuclear Industry”, the forum brings together industry practitioners, nuclear experts and regulators from the mainland, Hong Kong and overseas to enable a sharing of Daya Bay’s valuable experience and a forward-looking discussion on issues and opportunities facing the Chinese nuclear power industry with its great impetus for growth.

Target:

Intended for stakeholders interested in nuclear energy including government officials, non-governmental organizations, industry and business sectors, and academia.

Language:

English (simultaneous interpretation in Putonghua available).

Nuclear Safety and Risk Seminar on Nuclear Energy Developments for 2050

Speaker:

Abstract:

Mr Tony Roulstone will talk about how the UK is recreating the skills and capabilities for the new generation of reactors which are to be built, both to replace old gas-cooled reactors and as part of ‘greening’ the UK energy system.

He will suggest that, in the context of 2050 carbon targets, the opportunity is more about the priorities for extending the capability of light water reactor technology to: achieve higher performance; reduce costs; burn nuclear waste and breed new fuel, rather than creating new types of reactor systems.

Biography:

Tony Roulstone (MA Engineering) established the MPhil in Nuclear Energy programme in 2010 on his return to the University of Cambridge, where he teaches and conducts research in advanced nuclear systems. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Nuclear and Risk Engineering programme of CityU.

He received his degree in engineering from the University of Cambridge and has spent much of his career in the nuclear and aerospace industry. He was a project manager on Fast Reactor technology at UKAEA Dounreay from 1977-1980, before joining Rolls-Royce to design small water reactors, becoming Engineering and Projects Director in 1987 and subsequently Managing Director in 1992.

Also, he has worked widely at senior level across different industry sectors and he is a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Nuclear Safety and Risk Seminar on Advanced Passive Nuclear Power Technology Development in China

Speaker:

Abstract:

SNERDI was formed at the early stage of the Chinese nuclear power programme and held a pivotal role in the development of the first indigenous civil nuclear power station in China at Qinshan. The nuclear power programme in China has called for a three-fold increase of nuclear capacity to 58 GW by 2020 from the current capacity of 18 GW from 20 nuclear generating units, and a policy that new nuclear constructions will be based on advanced Generation III reactor technology that has much higher safety levels.

SNERDI has been very active in the import, assimilation and re-innovation of Generation III technology from the US. It is working on an advanced Pressurised Water Reactor design CAP1000 (Chinese AP1000) that makes extensive use of passive safety features to ensure reactor integrity. It is also developing a design known as CAP1400 that has the same safety philosophy but which has a larger generation capacity.

The seminar will provide further information on the above advanced nuclear reactor systems.

備註：

課程末段設有考核，通過者將獲頒畢業證書

報名：

請於2014 年 4 月 4 日前填妥報名表格並電郵至 jasper.chan@towngas.com；成功申請者將獲個別通知(額滿即止)

留位及報名查詢請致電陳子立先生（6078 9249）

課程綱要及主要內容：

課程綱要及主要內容 本課程由4位來自台灣之資深教授授課，以美國職業安全衛生署（OSHA）的石化製程安全管理法規(Process Safety Management)之14項稽查項目（製程安全信息、製程危害分析、變更管理、啟動前安全檢查、操作程式、教育訓練、機械／設備完整性、動火作業許可證、承包商管理、應急計劃與應變、事故調查、商業機密、符合性審核、員工參與）為基礎，講解工業製程安全管理的稽查項目，並強化風險評估基本認知（如PHA、HAZOP等），藉此找出製程安全缺失並加以改善，以避免災害及減少損失。

PSM 廣泛應用於石油化工行業、生產廠房或其他行業等，歐美、中國及東南亞國家亦普遍採用。PSM可以協助作業人員確實依工作場所相關製程危害資訊發掘重大潛在危害，實施製程安全評估並採取必要之危害控制對策，系統化地辨識潛在危害，評估災害預防與應變能力，以提昇整體生產安全。

Nuclear Safety and Risk Seminar on Three Years After Fukushima, What Lessons were Learnt?

Speaker:

Abstract:

1. The response of Onagawa NPS to the 3/11 earthquake
   On, March 11, a massive earthquake occurred at 2:46 p.m. Japan standard time, and the epicenter was about 130km off the Pacific Ocean from the Oshika peninsula where Onagawa NPS is located. Discussion will be made on primary factors that Onagawa NPS reached a state of cold shut down, even though it suffered the highest ground acceleration and tsunami which was comparable to that of Fukushima Daiichi NPS.
    
2. New safety countermeasure of Onagawa NPS
   Detailed evaluation of 3/11/11 earthquakes and tsunamis conducted, appropriate countermeasure: further seismic reinforcement and construction of high levee (about 29m above sea level) will be taken. Additional upgrades for severe accident, i.e. Filtered Containment Vessel System, and alternative decay heat removable system.
    
3. Our life after Fukushima accident
   Japanese attitude toward nuclear energy has changed drastically since the accident of Fukushima Daiichi. Opposition for nuclear power has come to account for the majority and the pros and cons of nuclear power have been discussed by many people. Currently, all nuclear power plants (more than 50 units) remain stopped, and the Japanese government is not yet able to determine the principle of energy policy. However, the energy self sufficiency of Japan is very low (about 4%), and the renewable energy is very unstable. Where should we go?

The 2nd Asian Nuclear Power Briefing

Introduction:

Strategic Communications is delighted to announce the scheduling of the 2nd Asian Nuclear Power Briefing 2014 in Tokyo from 17-19 February 2014.  Once again, it is very pleased and honoured to have Lady Barbara Judge, CBE, Chairman Emeritus, UK Atomic Energy Authority Chairman, The Energy Institute of UCL and Deputy Chairman of the TEPCO Nuclear Reform Monitoring Committee chair the 2 day briefing.  Strategic Communications is also pleased to be working in collaboration with TEPCO.

This is a very special briefing as it will not only feature the latest updates and insight into Japan's nuclear power industry looking at Fukushima and worldwide safety standards, the 2 day briefing will also give a regional update of positive nuclear power development in Asia.

Our recently held 2nd European Nuclear Power Briefing in Budapest was insightful providing participants an unbiased platform to meet, network and discuss key issues that are both topical and relevant.

This is your opportunity to shape the agenda for our Asian nuclear power briefing to be held in Tokyo in February 2014.

Almost 3 years on from Fukushima’s disaster which left countries reconsidering their nuclear power options as part of its energy mix, the 2nd Asian Nuclear Power Briefing 2014 will take a pragmatic overview of the current global nuclear power scene, particularly in Asia and thoughts about where the industry is headed. Issues addressed at the 2 day briefing will include:

1. Safety standards
2. Decommissioning
3. Policies and issues that governments have to face when determining what role nuclear power will play in its energy mix?
4. Relevance of international investors and stakeholders when considering financing options
5. Energy security and sustainability
6. Rebuilding public confidence in nuclear power as a safe and sustainable source of energy
7. Identifying innovative technology for nuclear power
8. Latest on thorium
9. Climate change
