Nuclear Future

  • Gain exclusive knowledge on nuclear energy practices
  • Learn from Jan’s extensive experience
  • Dive into the critical world of nuclear energy


Join us for an engaging lecture on the past, present, and future of nuclear energy. We’ll begin with a brief history, exploring its promising start after the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by the profound impact of the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima disasters. We’ll then discuss the resurgence of support for nuclear power, especially from the political right in Europe and the Netherlands.

Looking ahead, we’ll examine the bold promises being made today, including the goal of tripling nuclear capacity by 2050, small modular reactors (SMRs), and advancements in safety. We’ll also address the challenges of cost, construction timelines, waste management, and security concerns. Finally, we’ll explore what role nuclear energy could play in the global energy transition.

Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into one of the most critical and debated aspects of our energy future!
