The approach focused on technological solutions but rather on topics such as siting, licensing, project management, integrated management system during construction, qualifying suppliers, procurement, safety and security, human resources.
20 students from the Czech Republic, France and Slovakia gathered in Jáchymov, historical place for the extraction of Radium and Uranium, and benefited from the lectures of 13 experts on the topic.
