PIME, the conference on Public Information Materials Exchange, runs from 14 to 17 February and revolves around a series of plenary sessions and workshops for people working in the nuclear energy and nuclear research communications sectors.
Welcome addresses will be given by Vladimir Slugeň, president of the Slovak Nuclear Society and the European Nuclear Society; Előd Holló, president of the Hungarian Nuclear Society; and Péter Hónig, Hungary’s minister of transport, telecommunication and energy.
Other sessions include presentations by environmentalist Stephen Tindale, former head of Greenpeace UK, and James Gillies, head of communications at CERN, the Switzerland-based European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
For the first time there will be a communications showcase with presentations from a number of organisations including the Swiss Nuclear Forum, the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group from the Netherlands, the Argentinean Nuclear Regulatory Authority and NucNet.
On 17 February there are technical visits to Hungarian nuclear facilities including the Budapest Research Reactor (BRR) at Hungary’s Central Research Institute of Physics.
The BRR is a Soviet-origin tank-type reactor, moderated and cooled by light water. It is used for irradiation and neutron research.
PIME is organised by the European Nuclear Society in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Brussels-based industry group Foratom and the Paris-based Nuclear Energy Agency.
