Tribune - How to deliver Nuclear New Build programmes successfully? Focus on the construction phase

The official Assystem tribune on the theme of "Construction Management", chaired by Stéphane Aubarbier, Deputy CEO of Assystem, brought together renowned experts from EDF, Naarea, Westinghouse and China Nuclear Industry Huaxing Construction to discuss key success factors for future nuclear programmes and their crucial role in the fight against climate change.
The nuclear sector is booming and reborn, as the fight against global warming is unanimous around the world. As we know, the essential energy transition in which the world is engaged cannot be achieved without an increasing use of low-carbon electricity to reduce CO2 emissions. Nuclear power is seen as a strategic pillar of the electricity mix in some countries to accelerate their energy transition. With this renaissance of nuclear power, large programmes are being launched or relaunched around the globe, starting with France. This panel will discuss how to deliver Nuclear New Build programmes successfully, focusing on the challenges met during the construction phase and how to address them.
