PWR Prague Conference is a biennial international forum organised by the Czech Nuclear Society.
The International PWR Prague Conference builds upon the longstanding tradition of VVER Conferences held in Prague since 2000.
The topics covered by VVER conferences have long surpassed the scope of Russian-type reactors, and participation from countries operating
pressurized water reactors of other designs is increasingly broad. NPPs with VVER-type reactors definitely belong to the broader family of pressurized
water reactors, addressing similar questions in all areas of safe, reliable, long-term, and economically competitive operation.
The conference brings together experts from nuclear power plants with PWR reactors (VVER-type including), designers, representatives of regulatory
bodies, fuel suppliers, equipment and components suppliers, maintenance and other services providers.
