Announcement and Call for Abstracts and Papers

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) once again brings together the fast reactor and related fuel cycles communities by organizing the International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: From Innovation to Implementation (FR26). This conference is a follow-up of the previous successful IAEA Fast Reactor Conferences in Kyoto (2009), Paris (2013), Yekaterinburg (2017), and Vienna (2022).

The purpose of the FR26 is to serve as a platform for global collaboration and knowledge exchange in the field of fast reactor and advanced fuel cycle technologies. Key objectives of the conference include:

  • identifying strategic and technical options proposed by countries, organizations, and private companies;ย 
  • promoting sustainable development of safe, secure, and economically viable fast reactor system technologies;ย 
  • identifying and addressing critical technical challenges and knowledge gaps in relation to the industrial deployment of fast reactors and related fuel cycles.ย 

ย 

The conference goal will also be engaging young scientists and engineers to promote innovation, diversity including gender equality, and future leadership in the development of innovative fast reactor concepts and related fuel cycles.

ย 

Contributions on the Conference Topics are welcome as oral or poster presentations. All submissions must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere.
