Workshop on Local Intense Precipitation and its Impact on Nuclear Installations

The NEA in collaboration with the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) organised a multi-sector workshop on 18-20 September 2024 on Local Intense Precipitation and its Impacts on Nuclear Installations.

The workshop brought together regulators and stakeholders, including engineers, meteorologists and other experts - also from non-nuclear fields - to address key issues and identify technology gaps.

Sessions

High-level national and international experts from a wide range of sectors shared their experiences and views during the five sessions of the workshop:

  • Estimating precipitation;
  • Hydrologic and hydraulic models;
  • Protection and mitigation procedure strategies in nuclear facilities;
  • Regulatory approaches;
  • Climate change.
Participation and registration

The workshop was open to participants from the OECD member countries, the NEA member countries, and NEA strategic partners, invitees, and partner international organisations.
