In order to explore new ways to portray nuclear energy as a modern, socially beneficial source of clean energy contributing to climate change mitigation and socioeconomic development, IAEA organised between 26 and 28 April 2023 the workshop on Reimagining Nuclear Energy. The event brought together government officials, nuclear facility operators, and other nuclear energy actors in charge with the implementation of national stakeholder engagement and communication strategies, young nuclear professionals and nuclear advocates.
The ECOSENS project and the considerations on the methodology proposed to assess the sustainability performances of nuclear power and other low carbon energies have been presented as part of the panel “Engaging and Communicating for Advanced Nuclear Technologies”, by Marin Constantin (RATEN) – ECOSENS WP2 leader. His talk entitled “Engaging Stakeholders in the Decision-Making Process for Innovative Nuclear Systems Development” provided an opportunity to collect valuable feedback from the audience, which will be considered in the future development of the sustainability assessment
