This meeting aims to support and strengthen international cooperation on fusion research and development with the goal of building scientific and technical knowledge in this field for the construction of fusion power plants. Many fusion companies have started, or plan to start fusion demonstration/pilot plant operations within the next decade, if these designs are to reach commercialisation, then codes and standards (C&S) should be identified or developed in parallel with the fusion industry. Building on a series of consultancy meetings held by the IAEA in 2023 and 2024, and by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority in February 2025, this meeting focuses on the development and identification of C&S for fusion. Inputs from this meeting will contribute to an IAEA database on C&S which is being developed for the IAEA Fusion CONNECT (FUSE) platform. The C&S database will be continually updated by fusion organisations/companies to identify common C&S, (which can be adapted from other sectors) which apply across fusion technologies. Areas where there are significant gaps (ex. tritium breeding) or areas where revisions are required (ex. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code) can then be identified in the database and handed to codes and standards organisations so that C&S can be developed to support the growth of the fusion sector.
