According to a recent Nuclear Decommissioning Funding Study, the estimated cost of Nuclear D&D in the U.S has been estimated at $69.3billion, illustrating the importance of continuously using the latest services and technologies to complete decommissioning projects in a timely and costs effective manner.

In addition, the Office of Environmental Management has recently requested $6.1bn of funding for Department of Energy decommissioning projects alone- if approved showing huge opportunity for decommissioning contractors within the industry.

Due to the clear needs for decommissioning managers and contractors to discuss the vast opportunities within the industry, Nuclear Energy Insider will be hosting the only focused Nuclear D&D Supply Chain Conference of 2011 on November 17-18 in Charlotte.

Meeting is the perfect timing for the D&D industry worldwide

This 2 day business critical could not have come at a better time for nuclear industry. Firstly, nuclear decommissioning has become the hot topic within the industry worldwide; from the impressive clean-up efforts currently taking place at Fukushima, the potential decommissioning boom which will take place in Germany due to the recent announcement that three out of their six units will be shut down well in advance of 2021 to the anticipated Office of Environmental Management budget yet to be announced.

Secondly, now is the time for nuclear supply chain to plan and foresee the commercial opportunities available to them in 2012. This is only achievable by getting their products, knowledge and expertise before the key US and international buyers within the industry.

Finally, with the high costs associated with decommissioning projects (estimated $69.3bn spent in the US) and the possibility that budgets will be tighter over the next year, it is crucial for decommissioning managers worldwide to learn from each other’s successes and challenges whilst also meeting new suppliers who can help them reduce project time and costs.

Unmissable features of this conference include:

• Exclusive site updates from senior DOE executives from the Hanford, Oakridge, Savannah River, Portsmouth Paducah and West Valley sites - a must for any contractor wanting to take a slice of the estimated $11.6 billion worth of DOE decommissioning work remaining
