The IAEA welcomes high quality contributions that fall under the umbrella of the nine topics listed below:
Track 1: Innovative Fast Reactor Designs
· Advanced fast reactor concepts, including core, systems, and components design, small modular fast reactors, and deployment strategies aligned with future energy systems.
Track 2: Fast Reactor Safety and Licensing
· Safety approaches, analysis methods, passive systems, severe accident behaviour, 3S (Safety, Security, Safeguards), safety requirements and the regulatory framework for fast neutron reactors.
Track 3: Fuel Cycle Technologies and Sustainability
· Fuel cycle strategies and their impacts on waste minimization, hydro and pyro processes and associated waste streams, infrastructures, enablers (e.g., transportation).
Track 4: Fast Reactor Fuels and Materials
· Fuel and structural materials, coolant chemistry and related technologies.
Track 5: Test Facilities and Experiments
· Experimental infrastructure and test facilities, including component tests, and integral experiments.
Track 6: Modelling and Simulation
· Computational methods, multi-physics tools, validation and verification, and the use of AI and machine learning.
Track 7: Economics, Integrated Systems, and Non-Electric Applications
· Economic assessments, integration with other energy systems, non-electric uses (e.g. hydrogen production and desalination).
Track 8: Commissioning, Operation, and Decommissioning
· Practical experience in starting up, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of fast reactors, including instrumentation and control technologies, in-service inspections, and management of waste streams.
Track 9: Public Engagement, Knowledge Management, and Education and Training
· Approaches and experiences for building public support, stakeholder engagement, knowledge preservation, and training to support long-term development.
Contributions on the Conference Topics are welcome as oral or poster presentations. All submissions must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere.
