Purpose and Objectives

The purpose of the Conference is to provide a global platform for nuclear safety experts to exchange insights on key topics related to nuclear installation design safety, safety assessment, siting, construction, operation, and regulation. The conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on past and recent nuclear projects in order to enhance efficiency in future projects, while maintaining the highest levels of safety.

The Conference aims to provide a comprehensive forum for nuclear safety stakeholders from various generations of nuclear projects. This event will facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences, and the identification of best practices to advance the field. The Conference seeks to raise awareness of how past successes and lessons learned in safety can inform modern nuclear developments, making future projects more effective, efficient, and safe. Thus, TIC2026 will be of interest to nuclear safety regulators, plant designers and operators, technical support organizations, and other stakeholders from Member States and international organizations, fostering international collaboration and the exchange of experiences.

TIC2026 will also provide the IAEA with valuable insights for its activities related to the safety of nuclear installations, informing the next generation of IAEA Safety Standards, ensuring pragmatism and suitability for advanced nuclear technologies. Additionally, the outcomes of the conference will help to shape future IAEA efforts to assist Member States by focusing on capacity-building activities, strengthening advisory and peer-review services, and enhancing international cooperation in nuclear installation safety.
