Introduction

The 2007 energy white paper highlighted the potential “energy gap” in the period 2010-2020 as existing large fossil and nuclear plant are decommissioned. The need to plug this gap may be met by life extension of existing nuclear facilities. For life extension of existing facilities, management of material condition will become increasingly important. This will create a need for innovative solutions to monitor and manage plant material condition, manage investment in plant, and for refurbishment / replacement of components in harsh environments. 

About the event
