It’s time to open the season for science conferences! There will be two this month. Dr Przemek Żydak is going to both! And he will be speaking at both. The first, to be held on 21 November, has been organised by the SEP Nuclear Energy Committee.

The great return of nuclear power is the title of a scientific and technical conference organised by the SEP Nuclear Power Committee. Four papers are scheduled:

1. Emissions of radioactive substances during operation of a nuclear power plant – limits, levels, control systems – presented by Prof. Krzysztof KOZAK, PhD, of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences
2. Nuclear power problems and how to eliminate them – presented by Prof. Konrad ŚWIRSKI, D.Sc. from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Power Engineering and Aeronautics, Warsaw University of Technology,
3. Location issues of nuclear power plants in the aspect of large power units and SMRs – presented by Przemysław ŻYDAK, Ph.D., from Sotis Advisors
4. The Nuscale reactor project in the light of the general opinion of the President of the State Atomic Energy Agency – will be presented by Dr Piotr MAZGAJ, Eng. from the Department of Nuclear Energy, KGHM Polska Miedź SA.

Each paper will last approximately 45 minutes. The event starts at 5 p.m. Admission is free.

We are happy to announce that Maciej Lemiesz has joined our team. A man with a lot of knowledge, not only legal knowledge, and an even greater sense of humour! He fits us perfectly!

Maciej Lemiesz about himself:
“I am compatible with the management of Sotis Advisors. In height, I equal Przemek when I stand and Anita when I sit. I’ll keep you warm in winter and give you shade in summer.”

How lucky we are to have Maciej join us! We value Maciej’s sense of humour, we also shadow Maciej for his experience and knowledge. Because Sotis Advisors’ new man is a lawyer by training, with experience in nuclear supervision. He supports us with projects related to the licensing of nuclear facilities and explaining the intricacies of nuclear power regulation in Poland.

Hi, Maciej!

We are not in hot water, we will check this and that five times to make sure that a fundamental decision can be applied for. Yes, it is about the location for nuclear power plants in Poland. We checked and… we were very surprised.

Some time ago we completed an audit of several locations for nuclear power plants in Poland (we did due diligence in September). As part of the work, we verified the presence of fundamental flaws, i.e. the factors listed in paragraph five of the location regulation, based on publicly available data. We also verified the risk of environmental and water impact problems. This verification should be carried out before any application for a fundamental decision. BEFORE EVERY!

The conclusion? It’s hard to believe how much can be learned and how many risks can be reduced just by looking at publicly available data! Pictured are sample results for a fictitious location.
