The theme of this years Energy Choices Conference, which was held in London on 1 December 2011, was Nuclear part of the solution.
The Nuclear Industry Association (NIA) hosted its eleventh annual flagship conference Energy Choices in the heart of Westminster on 1 December 2011. Alstom took full advantage of the opportunity to exhibit at this high-profile event.
The past year has seen significant progress on the road to new nuclear. EDF Energy, Horizon and NuGen are all pushing forward with plans to develop up to 16 GW of new low-carbon nuclear generation in Britain. The current state of energy policy is key; this will form one of the main themes at this years event. Electricity Market Reform, National Policy Statements and the Generic Design Assessment will all be discussed in detail.
Taking into account the theme for this years event Nuclear part of the solution, Alstom exhibited around the following key messages:
Alstom Nuclear Technology based on ARABELLE Steam Turbine with Best-in-class Efficiency
Proven outstanding reliability with 6 units in operation commencing since 1996 (19 more ordered and in Manufacturing/Erection)

Speakers at this years event were Charles Hendry MP, Energy Minister, Lord Hutton, Nuclear Industry Association, Vicent De Rivaz, EDF Energy and many others.
