Join Us: SMR Siting and Waste Management Results Webinar – 19 November 2025

We warmly invite you to a webinar presenting key findings from the SAFER2028 SMR-SiMa project, a collaborative effort between VTT, the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), and LUT University.

This session will highlight recent research on:

  • Waste management strategies for spent nuclear fuel from Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)
  • Siting considerations and societal acceptability of SMR facilities and repositories

The webinar is designed to support competence development and promote dialogue around emerging solutions in nuclear safety and sustainability. Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, or stakeholder in the energy sector, this is a valuable opportunity to engage with the latest insights and contribute to the conversation.
