From October 1 to 4, 2024, the annual international conference "Nuclear Energy for the People" took place in Burgas, Bulgaria, under the patronage of the Bulgarian Nuclear Society. The conference served as an important platform for exchanging knowledge among scientists, experts, researchers, and students working in the field of nuclear technologies and atomic energy.
The event aimed to promote the development of new educational initiatives, engage young professionals in nuclear engineering, and address current issues such as nuclear power plant safety, safety culture, resource management, decommissioning of nuclear power plants, and the impact of radiation on the environment.
This year, among the conference participants were representatives from Odesa Polytechnic. The university was proudly represented by Professor Ihor Leonidovych Kozlov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, and Senior Lecturer Viktor Mykolaiovych Kolikhanov, both from the Department of Nuclear Power Plants. They delivered presentations on the topics: "Natural Circulation in the Primary Circuit of Small Modular Reactors" and "Probability of Neutron Diffusion Flow Leakage through a Flat Boundary."
The participation of Odesa Polytechnic representatives highlights the high level of scientific activity at the university and its significant contribution to the development of modern nuclear technologies. Such events help prepare new specialists and strengthen international cooperation in the field of nuclear energy.
