📢 📢 📢 World Nuclear Transport Institute (WNTI) Members! 📢 📢 📢 On Friday 26th July 2024 14:00 to 15:30 (BST) we will be holding a Teams Meeting to develop the initial workstream plan for the WNTI New Nuclear Working Group. As part of the forward planning for the New Nuclear Working Group (NNWG), we are seeking input from WNTI Members who would like to be included in the drafting of the NNWG workplan. If you are a WNTI Member and would like to participate in this meeting (or someone else within your organisation) or if you have any questions please contact, WNTI Specialist, Simon Chaplin: simonc@wnti.co.uk ✉ Through active participation, this meeting will agree the objectives and develop success criteria for each workstream and assign workstream leads. The four workstreams that will be discussed are: ADVOCACY 🔹 Highlight importance of transport to industry 🔹 Ensuring transport is considered early 🔹 Ensure transport doesn’t become critical path POLICY 🔹 Ensure existing policy enables new nuclear 🔹 Highlight key risks/issues to policy makers 🔹 Represent members views at International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) etc. SKILLS 🔹 Ensure appropriate transport skills in place 🔹 Complete review of existing skills/capabilities 🔹 Provide training opportunities to members AWARENESS 🔹 Ensure members are sighted on new nuclear 🔹 Membership awareness of market 🔹 Represent members at industry forums WNTI members will be updated on progress during the Winter SAMM, in December 2024. #WNTIMeetings #WNTI #NewNuclear #NuclearTransport #Future #Innovation #NuclearEnergy #SMR #HALEU #NNWG #WorkingGroup #Collaboration

Delay and denial of shipments are a global issue that cannot be ignored. 🌏 During the WNTI SUMMER SAMM this June, our participants were introduced to a proposal regarding the formation of a WNTI Denial of Shipment Working Group. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and now we wish to extend the survey to the entire WNTI membership. Join us and Be Part of the Solution. 💡 We kindly ask our WNTI Members to complete the survey below by the deadline of 26th July 2024. ⏳ If you have any questions, please contact WNTI Specialist, Simon Chaplin. https://lnkd.in/dVyPCY2H #WNTI #WNTIWorkingGroup #DenialofShipment #DoS #NuclearMedicine #Radiopharmaceuticals #NuclearTransport #RadioactiveMaterials #RAMTransport #NuclearIndustry #Transport #Safety #Security

The 108th session of the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 108) was held at the International Maritime Organization headquarters in London, from the 15 - 24 May 2024. Representing the World Nuclear Transport Institute (WNTI) was Capt. Simon Chaplin (WNTI), Scott Edwards (Core Power), Unni Einemo (Core Power) and Mikal Bøe Boe (Core Power). This session held significant importance for WNTI, as the organisation presented two crucial submissions: MSC 108/INF.21, titled ‘WNTI – Gap Analysis of the Code of Safety for Nuclear Merchant Ships,’ and MSC 108/108/5/4, containing WNTI’s comments on MSC 108/5. Unni Einemo has provided a comprehensive report detailing the discussions that took place in both the Plenary sessions and in Working Group 2, which focused on ‘Development of a Safety Regulatory Framework to Support the Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships Using New Technologies and Alternative Fuels.’ 🚢 💚 This report is available to WNTI members at the link below ⤵ https://lnkd.in/e5YxEY_7 #WNTI #IMO #NuclearTransport #NuclearShipping #NetZero #NuclearIndustry #NuclearMerchantShips #DecarboniseShipping #ShippingIndustry #Transport #Decarbonise #GreenerShipping #GHGEmissions
