In view of good response and success of the previous Croatian Nuclear Society conferences, devoted to the needs and interests of countries with small or medium nuclear systems and electricity grids, the 11th International Conference in Zadar will serve the same general purpose, concentrating on the topics which attracted the most interest in previous conferences. It is the follow up conference intended to save the needs and interests at this important and growing group of countries.

The Conference will consider the nuclear option from the point of view of the national energy strategy, resources, costs, technological, organisational and educational requirements, 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 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.

Become a sponsor of the 11th edition of International Conference of the Croatian Nuclear Society - HND2016, (former Conference: Nuclear Option in Countries with Small and Medium Electricity Grids), organised in cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Croatian State Office for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (DZRNS), and sponsored by European Nuclear Society (ENS) and feel the multiple benefits of achieving a high level of visibility in the area of nuclear energy.
