Join Lincoln Hill to explore how nuclear energy underpins Ukraine's wartime resilience and how the UK is supporting its energy security and future development.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, attacks on energy infrastructure have been widespread and sustained, making the reliability and security of the country's grid more important than ever.
Nuclear power remains a cornerstone of Ukraine’s energy system, often providing up to 80% of the country’s electricity from power plants like Rivne NPP and Khmelnytskyi NPP. The safe, secure and reliable operation of these stations is essential to the country’s wartime resilience.
We are pleased to welcome Lincoln Hill, Director of Policy and External Aff airs at the Nuclear Industry Association (NIA). Drawing on insights from a recent UK nuclear industry delegation visit to Ukraine, Lincoln will share fi rst-hand observations of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by Ukrainian nuclear operators working under exceptionally challenging conditions.
Lincoln will outline the strategic importance of nuclear energy to Ukraine, the operational challenges facing the sector, and the role international partnerships play in supporting energy security. He will also explore how the UK is contributing through nuclear fuel supply, knowledge sharing in areas such as decommissioning, and opportunities for future collaboration on new nuclear projects.
The webinar will run for one hour, with approximately 40 minutes of presentations followed by 15 minutes of audience Q&A. The session will be recorded.
