Looks like we're in for an excellent webinar later this week, with a worldwide mix of audience members. There's a watch party in the IET Local Network in Wellington, New Zealand that are staying up late to join in following their visit to Openstar Technologies Ltd, who are using new technology to develop a Levitated Dipole Reactor. There's still time to register for the webinar if you've not yet done so. https://bit.ly/3VgjHGF

Interested in hearing more about Fusion? Register for our next IET Nuclear Network webinar. STEP: Generating Energy from Fusion 5 September 2024 – 12.00pm BST https://bit.ly/3VgjHGF Terry Thompson and Adam Stephen from UKAEA will introduce fusion energy generation, together with the challenges and opportunities associated with this area of technology, as well as the plans for the UKAEA first of a kind fusion power plant - Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP). #STEPtoFusion #Nuclear #Energy  

Don’t miss the opportunity to join us for our IET Nuclear Lunch and Learn online session on Hinkley Point C. 9 July 2024. 12pm. https://bit.ly/4bgR0yR Dave Pearson, Chief C&I Engineer at Hinkley Point C will set out the principles against which modern safety critical Instrumentation & Control Systems are developed against, exploring the concepts of Redundancy, Diversity and Equipment Qualification, and applying these to delivery of the UK’s newest nuclear power Station project. The architecture necessary to deliver safe, resilient and secure monitoring and control of the Nuclear Reactor and associated systems will be discussed, together with an overview of some of the challenges faced by large and small-scale high-integrity system lifecycles. #IETWebinar #NuclearPower 

Join us for our IET webinar on Navigating the Challenges of Functional Safety Management - Rethinking Competence and Expertise. https://bit.ly/3R4bVgI 24 Sept 2024 – 12.00pm BST. Speakers: Liam Barness, Senior Control & Instrumentation Engineer, National Gas Transmission and Paulo Oliveira, VP of Consulting (Process Safety), DEKRA Ops UK   Have the competency requirements from functional safety standards diverted us from achieving the correct competence? Are we placing too much reliance on a few 'experts' to safeguard our process safety? With a significant number of process safety incidents tracing back to systematic failures, this webinar aims to delve into the challenges of achieving the correct level of competency throughout the lifecycle of functional safety. Emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary collaborative approach, this webinar will also explore potential solutions to close competency gaps and create a robust functional safety management system. #Functionalsafety #Competence
