Tiistaina 26.9. järjestettiin vuoden 2017 kolmas jäsentilaisuus, minkä aiheena oli Voimalaitosten ja prosessilaitosten automaatio. Tilaisuuden tarkoituksena oli tutustuttaa jäsenistö viimeaikaisiin suuriin ydinvoima-alan ulkopuolisiin automaatioprojekteihin sekä Loviisan voimalaitoksen automaatiouudistusprojektiin. Paikalla oli 39 ATS:n jäsentä mukaan lukien tilaisuuden Skype-osallistujat.

Tilaisuuden aloitti Pekka Salimäki Helen Oy:stä esityksellään Helsingin Salmisaaren voimalaitoksen modernisaatioprojektista, jonka yhtenä suurena osa-alueena on automaatiojärjestelmien uudistus.
Seuraavana jatkoi Fortumin Petteri Lehtonen, joka esitteli kuulijoille Loviisan voimalaitoksen automaatiouudistusprojekti ELSAn sekä projektiin liittyvän pitkän historian.

Lopuksi Neste Jacobs Oy:n Jari Kirmanen piti kattavan esityksen Porvoon jalostamon automaatiouudistushankkeesta.
Esitysten kysymys-osioissa tuli selväksi, että automaatioprojektien kanssa tekemisissä olevat ihmiset puhuvat samaa kieltä ja taistelevat samojen haasteiden kanssa, oli kyse sitten ydinvoima-alan projekteista tai muista hankkeista.

New opportunities for innovoation in nuclear!

“If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, then I shall be satisfied”
– George Westinghouse

Renowned engineer and innovator George Westinghouse sought to change the world for the better, and he wanted those with similar mindsets to work alongside him. Now, we want you to collaborate with us at WeLink – Westinghouse's new innovation accelerator.

WeLink enables and empowers innovators to develop the next nuclear technologies to allow safer, cleaner and more reliable nuclear applications for more people and a better planet.

WeLink will run two application intakes per year in selected technical areas. Focus areas in Sprint #2 are:

• Technologies for Integration of Nuclear and Renewables
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine-Learning Technologies
• Virtual- and Augmented-Reality Technologies for Industrial Applications
• Remote and Autonomous Drones and Rovers for Interior and Exterior Applications in GPS-Denied Hazardous
• Environments
• Cybersecurity and Behavior-Based Detection
• Disposal Technologies for Radioactive Waste
• Spent Fuel Applications

2017 INTAKE - SPRINT#2 TIMELINE: 

• Applications open: September 12, 2017
• Applications close: November 14, 2017
• Pitch Day: December 11, 2017
• Program begins: February 1, 2018

Invitation from ATS's sister society HND, the Croatian Nuclear Society:

Dear ATS Colleague,
 
We are pleased to announce the 12th International Conference of the Croatian Nuclear Society - HND (Former "Nuclear option in countries with small and medium electricity grids") which will be held on June 3-6, 2018 in Zadar, Croatia.
 
In view of good response and success of the previous Croatian Nuclear Society (HND) conferences, devoted to the needs and interests of countries that are interested in nuclear energy especially with small or medium nuclear systems and electricity grids, the HND’s 2018 conference in Zadar will serve the broader general purpose, concentrating on the current topics which attracted most interest before.
 
This is the follow up conference addressing the needs of this important and growing group of countries interested in nuclear power. The Conference will consider the nuclear option from the point of view of national energy strategy, resources, costs, technology, organisation, education, and environmental advantages. It will also focus on matters related to operational safety, fuel cycle, waste management, and decommissioning.
 
The important goal of the Conference is also to promote regional co-operation and exchange of experience in use of nuclear power and fuel cycle facilities among small or medium-sized countries with an interest in the nuclear option.
 
We cordially invite you to submit a paper to our Conference. The important dates are:

31 December 2017 Abstract submission
31 January 2018 Abstract acceptance
31 March 2018 Full paper submission
 
We will provide all further information about the Conference timely. Until then, you can follow us on the Conference website.
 
We are looking forward for your contribution and meeting you at the 12th HND's Conference in Zadar, European Best Destination 2016.

Sincerely,

Croatian Nuclear Society
