1) RWE Plans to Build a CO2-free Coal-fired Power Plant until 2014
In the run-up to the recent German Government Energy Summit, RWE AG announced to build a CO2-free 450 MW coal-fired power plant already in the middle of the next decade. Applying Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology, CO2-separation and onshore storage, RWE refers to the respective know how available in the group companies RWE Power and DEA. The ambitious project will contribute to the "revitalisation of the entire energy research" as demanded by RWE's chairman Roels.

2) 2006 ISOE International Symposium "Radiation Protection in Nuclear Power Plants"
This year’s annual international ISOE (Information System on Occupational Exposure) Symposium was held for the first time in Germany. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), the CEPN (the ISOE European Technical Centre) and VGB PowerTech jointly organised the 2006 ISOE Symposium, in Essen lasting from 15th to 17th March 2006. 150 radiation protection experts from 23 countries took part in the three-day event. The radiation protection professionals from nuclear power plants, authorities, contractors and manufacturers had a very fruitful international exchange of experience on current topics of radiation protection in workshops and technical papers. The successful event was accompanied by a technical exhibition with 12 exhibitors.
