Conference Objective

This 2.5-day conference will focus on the latest work and information in the key areas of fire safety and emergency preparedness. Substantial changes have been made to the Canadian and International safety codes, standards, guidelines, and technical tools relating to fire protection and emergency preparedness worldwide. This forum provides an opportunity to discuss these advances in the interest of improving fire safety and emergency preparedness in both new and operating nuclear power plants (NPPs), as well as Small Modular Reactors, research facilities, decommissioned facilities, uranium production and mining facilities.

The FSEP 2023 Conference will emphasize the sharing and exchange of information between the nuclear industry, fire protection and emergency preparedness specialists, suppliers and service providers, government representatives and officials, community, fire protection and Emergency Preparedness students and other stakeholders in fire protection and emergency management in the nuclear industry.

This premier international event is expected to attract a diverse audience of over one hundred specialists from Canada, the US and abroad, with over fifty plenary and technical presentations. We believe that FSEP 2023 is an important event, providing key educational information and an opportunity to network with other nuclear professionals focused on helping the nuclear industry meet their safety objectives. The previous event hosted 140 delegates from around the world including Fire Protection & Emergency Preparedness professionals from regulatory bodies, WANO, Operating & Decommissioning Power Plants, Science & Technology & Research & Development organizations, Small Modular Reactor.
