The International Atomic Energy Agency aims to support and strengthen its Member States’ capabilities in the field of technology development of nuclear fission and fusion for energy production.

The purpose of the event (EVT2103079) is to provide a forum for exchange of information as well as present up-to-date review of activities on synergies in technology development between nuclear fission and fusion for energy production at national and international levels. The event will also be used to present the work already done by chapter leaders to develop the Nuclear Energy Series (NES) publication on fission-fusion synergies, and distribute the tasks to finalize the different chapters/sections of the document.

Specific objectives of the event are:

• Promote and facilitate the exchange of information on synergies between advanced nuclear fission and fusion technologies;
• Summarize the current status of cooperation between fission and fusion technology development, presenting up-to-date information and material;
• Present the work already done by the chapter leaders to develop the Nuclear Energy Series (NES) publication;
• Document the discussions and major findings among subject matter experts to support Member States to better understand and benefit from the synergies between fission and fusion;
• Distribute the tasks to finalize the different chapters/sections of the document.
