Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.
17th International ANS Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Analysis 2021 (PSA21)
Virtual Meeting
Since 1978, the ANS biennial topical conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment has been a forum for communication of major probabilistic risk and safety topics worldwide, including issues, methods, applications, insights, policy, research, and risk-informed regulation experience. PSA21 will be of interest to those working in traditional applications including nuclear reactor facilities, nonreactor installations, processing, decontamination & decommissioning, storage, as well as other nontraditional areas where probabilistic safety approaches are applied. Topics of discussion are anticipated to include advanced and small modular reactor (SMR), Fukushima Daiichi, advanced reactor, multi-unit and full site PSA, the human interface and HRA, reliability of systems/structures/components, waste cleanup, natural phenomena, security, dry storage and fire risk, as well as many others. The role of probabilistic methods in understanding uncertainties and improving the safety and security of nuclear facilities, and activities will be highlighted.
PSA 2021 is attended by decision-makers, regulators, project managers, business sector, scientists, engineers, students and educators from throughout the world who are engaged in one or more topical areas associated with PSA. By selecting this conference, you will have the opportunity to network with leaders in the probabilistic and nuclear safety assessment field, as well as discuss your products, services, and organization.
