The World Nuclear Association's End Energy Users Panel serves as a collaborative platform between the nuclear industry and energy-intensive sectors. Its primary goal is to establish a constructive dialogue addressing the needs of energy-intensive industries and fostering confidence in the utilization of nuclear power for a sustainable and decarbonized energy future. The panel is dedicated to sharing experiences and best practices in stakeholder engagement, adherence to environmental, social, and corporate governance principles, and various areas essential for the successful and timely deployment of nuclear technology for industrial purposes. Key initiatives include identifying gaps in legal, contractual, and regulatory frameworks, navigating interfaces between nuclear and non-nuclear technologies, and exploring new business models to manage nuclear liabilities, including (used) fuel management solutions.
With this group, the World Nuclear Association aims to contribute to the effective and sustainable integration of nuclear energy across diverse industrial settings and provide a comprehensive understanding of nuclear energy's economic viability in industrial settings, including 'Power-to-X' by promoting the collaboration and exchanges between different stakeholders.
