Vom 19. bis 23. September 2016 fand in Wien das dritte Treffen dieses Jahres des Board of Governors (BoG) der Internationalen Atomenergie Agentur (IAEA) statt. Der Governeursrat hat sich mit den Fragestellungen zur nuklearen Sicherheit von Kernanlagen sowie der Sicherung von nuklearem Material auseinandergesetzt. Die nukleare Sicherung steht dieses Jahr im Fokus der IAEA sowie der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft und findet ihren Höhepunkt mit einer internationalen Konferenz mit Ministerbeteiligung im kommenden Dezember. Dazu hat federführend das Bundesamt für Energie (BFE) zusammen mit dem Eidgenössischen Departement für auswärtige Angelegenheiten (EDA) in einer Studie verschiedene und umfassende Möglichkeiten zur nuklearen Sicherung von allen nuklearen Materialen, neben den zivilen auch die sogenannten nicht-zivilen Materialien, aufgezeigt.

The morning of the second day of the Swiss-US Energy Innovation Days 2016 took place at the zero net energy center (znec) in San Leandro and kicked off with a presentation on building components and design. Byron Benton, the director of znec, introduced the znec concept by showing the substantial energy savings that have been achieved during the renovation of the znec in 2012-13 and resulted in a lowering of the energy use by 75% compared to similar commercial buildings in the US.

The first day of the third edition of the Swiss-US Energy Innovation Days started off with an excellent keynote speech from Mark Ferron, member of the California Independent System Operator Corporation Board of Governors, who delivered a very comprehensive and thoughtful talk about the policy challenges and possible solutions for California to move towards a low carbon economy. This has been a very useful presentation for the Swiss audience, who was not necessarily familiar with the Californian context. It also proved reassuring to see that many of the challenges that California faces happen to be the same as ours in Switzerland. Weiterlesen

Am 12./13. Juli raten die EU-Energieminister zu einem informellen Treffen in Bratislava zusammen. Mit der slowakischen Präsidentschaft sind die Themen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Versorgungssicherheit wieder prominent auf die EU-Agenda zurückgekehrt. Auch was das Format des informellen Ministertreffens betrifft, herrscht nach den innovativen Ansätzen der Luxemburger und der Niederländer (leider) wieder Alltag. Die Schweiz wurde in Bratislava von BFE-Direktor Walter Steinmann (siehe Bild) vertreten. Weiterlesen

The Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) is a voluntary partnership of 86 nations and five official observers (International Atomic Energy Agency, European Union, INTERPOL, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Institute, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime). It is co-chaired by the United States of America and Russia. Its mission is to strengthen global capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to nuclear or radiological terrorism. GICNT work has raised awareness of the ever-changing threat of terrorist use of nuclear and radioactive materials, and it has provided opportunities for countries to share information, expertise, and best practices in a voluntary, non-binding framework.

Which challenges will you face concerning their involvement? These questions were at the heart of a Technical Meeting on Stakeholder Communication in Radioactive Waste Disposal of the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA, held from June 13th to June 17th 2016 in Vienna.

Last week the Governing Board of the International Energy Agency (IEA) met in Paris for its June meeting. Interesting discussions took place about developments on the energy markets, new technological approaches and also about megatrends, such as urbanisation. A strategic repositioning process was also introduced which should make the IEA a global player in the fields of security of energy supply and clean energy. Currently, numerous countries are asking to join the IEA and the structures of the IEA will have to be more strongly oriented to the topics of energy efficiency and integration of new technologies.
