Stanislav ROŽMAN

My professional work is on electricity production and nuclear energy. I started my career in the area of the development and automation of hydroelectric power plants in Slovenia. I have devoted the major part of my professional career to the commercial use of nuclear energy in Slovenia and worldwide. I am actively involved in the safety of nuclear power plants worldwide through the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). My major achievements are the plant’s start-up tests, the establishment of the Krško nuclear power plant operating organization, the development of the plant work processes and operating procedures as well as the safe and stable operation of the Krško nuclear power plant. In my 20-year career in management, the Krško nuclear power plant has developed a strong safety culture and a stable operating team that has achieved exceptional performance also worldwide. The standard performance index shows that the Krško plant ranks among the first quartile of the most successful power plants in the world.

The pursuit of excellence in the nuclear industry is continuous, and collectively we must advance nuclear safety and reliability despite economic and market challenges. Nuclear safety is the overriding priority because of the special characteristics and unique hazards of the technology.
