Praxis sponsors top nuclear industry event

Bath-based critical systems specialist sponsors the 2007 British Nuclear Energy Society (BNES) Dinner.

Praxis, a leading specialist in critical systems engineering, will be one of the sponsors for the British Nuclear Energy Society’s (BNES) annual dinner event taking place next week.

Bringing together the industry’s top performers, the prestigious dinner, which acts as a fitting conclusion to the Energy Choices 2007 Conference, will be held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on Thursday 6 December.

The BNES dinner will be preceded by the society’s annual lecture, which this year will be lead by Sir John Harman, chairman of the Environment Agency. In addition to the leading insight offered during the lecture, dinner guests will also hear from the illustrious chairman of the NIA, Lord O’Neill of Clackmannan in a post-dinner speaking slot.

Due to attract capacity attendance the lecture and annual dinner will enable conference delegates to reflect on discussions taking place earlier in the day, lead by key nuclear industry figureheads such as Rt Hon John Hutton, Brian Cox (CERN), Bill Coley of British Energy, Murray Elston from the Canadian Nuclear Association and Terry Selby on the NDA’s communications challenge.

The conference will also include a special BBC Question Time session chaired by leading broadcaster John Humphreys.

The Energy Choices 2007 Conference, where Praxis will also be exhibiting, will take place at the Church House Conference Centre, London.

The conference will be looking at the key consultations on planning, justification, and strategic sitting of new nuclear power stations following the Government’s White Paper which has underlined nuclear power’s role as an essential part in delivering a low-carbon future for the UK. The decommissioning and waste management aspects of nuclear power will also be high on the agenda.

The conference is being organised by British Nuclear Energy Society.
