▪ SNETP was set up in 2007 under the auspices of the European Commission, to gather stakeholders building a common vision: industry, research centres, safety organisations, universities, non-governmental organisations, SMEs, etc.

▪ SNETP’s official European Technology Platform label was renewed in 2013.

▪ The overall goal is to support technological development for enhancing safe and competitive nuclear fission in a sustainable energy mix, as part of the EU’s SET-Plan

▪ Low greenhouse gas emissions

▪ Security of energy supply for Europe

▪ Stable electricity prices

▪ R&D is necessary to further enhance the safety and sustainability of nuclear fission, and to open new markets

▪ SNETP has expressed its strategic orientations around three technological pillars, and launched task forces to implement them

Vision: 3 strategic pillars

matching SET-Plan priorities

“Maintain competitiveness

in fission technologies,

together with long-term

waste management

solutions” *

“Complete the preparations for the

demonstration of a new generation

(Gen-IV) of fission reactors for

increased sustainability”*

“The first cogeneration

reactors could (…)

appear within the next

decade as demonstration

projects to test the

technology for coupling

with industrial processes”

NUGENIA Association

11

NUGENIA is an international non-profit association

founded under Belgian legislation in November 2011 and

launched in March 2012

Its mission is to be an integrated framework for safe,

reliable and competitive Gen II & III fission technologies,

which:

– Fosters collaboration between industry, SMEs, RTOs,

academia and technical safety organisations

– Builds knowledge and expertise

– Generates results with added value

104 full members and 7 honorary members from 24

countries (as of January 2017)
