IAEA Technical Meeting on Proliferation Resistance Features of Fast Reactors and Associated Fuel Cycles

→ Europe/Vienna
M4 (M-Building) (IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria)

M4 (M-Building)

IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
Amparo GONZALEZ ESPARTERO (IAEA), Carolynn SCHERER (IAEA - INPRO), Vladimir Kriventsev (IAEA)
Description

Final extension of the deadline until 31 May 2025

This Technical Meeting on Proliferation Resistance Features of Fast Reactors and Associated Fuel Cycles is bringing together researchers, developers, designers, vendors, operators and the broader world of fast reactor and nuclear fuel cycle communities. Recent years have seen significant advancements in fast reactor technology, leading to the development of various new reactor designs as well as in demonstration of associated fuel cycles. This event will review the current status, international progress, and recent innovations in the field of proliferation resistance of fast reactors and associated fuel cycles.

See more details in the TM Information Sheet

Participants who wish to give presentations are requested to submit an extended abstract of their work. The abstract will be reviewed as part of the selection process for presentations. The extended abstract should be in A4 page format, should extend to no more than four pages (including figures and tables). It should contain title, contributing author(s) names and affiliation, must be written in English, and provide sufficient information on the contents of the proposed paper for evaluation.

 MS Word Template is available at https://conferences.iaea.org/e/PRFR.
