Milano, Italy

Description

The meeting TECDOC is now published and available online: Download

The purpose of the event is to discuss the development of fast neutron reactors belonging to the type of small and medium sized or modular reactors (SMRs); to share the up-to-date fast SMR technology; and to identify potential benefits and challenges in the development and deployment of fast SMRs.

The main objectives of the meeting are to:

  • Promote and facilitate the exchange of information within the scope of the event and its related topics at the national and international level;
  • Present and discuss the current status of research and development (R&D) in the field of fast neutron SMRs;
  • Discuss and identify potential benefits and challenges in the development and deployment of fast SMRs;
  • Discuss and identify R&D needs and gaps to assess future requirements in the field, which should eventually lead to efforts being concentrated in the key lacking areas;
  • Provide recommendations to the IAEA for future joint efforts and coordinated research activities (if required) in the field; and
  • Prepare a reference document summarizing the work presented by the participants, including the findings of the study in the standard IAEA publications format.
