ARCHIVE OF DISTRIBUTED EVENTS, WORLDWIDE ON DECEMBER 2nd, 2020
Industry Response to the Pandemic of Covid-19
Each year World Nuclear Energy Day has a unique theme. For the event year of December 2nd, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic took center stage. This gave us the opportunity to highlight behind-the-scenes heroes and she-roes who kept the lights on and the power moving. Inaugural World Nuclear Energy Day on December 2nd, 2020 was designed to celebrate the inspirational commitment of people involved in the nuclear energy sector during the pandemic, often thanklessly and tirelessly working to keep the lights on, heating and cooling operational and the smooth operation of essential nuclear facilities.
Because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, there was no single, central event. However, there were many events distributed worldwide which were organized and hosted by supporters of World Nuclear Energy Day on or near December 2nd. Scan the partial list below to see the celebrations and events in this archive.
