Introduction
As part of its activities, the KVBE-SRBE organizes several workshops to discuss technologies for the energy transition using electrical energy. The last event on 24 November 2022 highlighted the need for electricity to decarbonize industry including hydrogen production for industrial applications. In addition, the demand for electricity will increase as part of the electrification of transport as shown by our past event about e-mobility on 26/02/2019.
The KVBE-SRBE has decided to organize, in collaboration with SCK CEN and KVAB/ Reflectiegroep Energie, 2 days of reflection about the use of nuclear power in the coming decades to meet the demand for carbon-free energy in addition to Renewable Energies. This comprehensive seminar highlights all important aspects of the future of nuclear technologies and gets you up to speed on latest developments including Small Modular Reactor.
The organization is planning a brainstorming seminar in Brussels and a visit to the Belgian nuclear research center in Mol developing the MYRRHA and MINERVA projects.
With this event, the KVBE-SRBE intends to bring together all stakeholders on this topic covering the coming decades for a CO2-neutral society. This will concern all interested people as teachers, professors, students, specialists, engineers, business, industry and public stakeholders,… It will be complemented in 2023 by another KVBE-SRBE event relating to wind power, particularly offshore installation.

Visit MYRRHA Heavy Liquid Metal Technology complex : Hamid AIT ABDERRAHIM – General Manager of MYRRHA Since the start of the MYRRHA project, SCK CEN has implemented an extensive R&D program to support the development of the reactor. A strong R&D program has especially been developed on the use of lead-bismuth (LBE), a liquid metal alloy, as a coolant for the reactor. Within this R&D program, SCK CEN has developed several facilities such as COMPLOT in which prototypes of control rods are tested. HEXACOM, combined with COMPLOT, tests the thermal dissipation of heat exchangers. MEXICO tests the oxygen regulation of LBE. With CRAFT, liquid metal corrosion on structural materials is tested. E-SCAPE studies the liquid and heat flows of LBE in the reactor vessel. RHAPTER verifies the utility of movable mechanical components in an LBE environment. Beside the research program supporting the development of the MYRRHA reactor, work is also being performed on ISOL@MYRRHA, a facility for the production of new radioisotopes. The focus of this research program is on achieving a high level of efficiency and purity. For this research program, specific test facilities are being built and used in “Labo2”. |
