Interregional Workshop on Advances in Fast-neutron Spectrum and Gen IV type SMR Designs and Safety Feasibility


Project:INT2025-2506070
Organizer:IAEA
Place:Beijing
State:China
Date:19.10.2026 - 23.10.2026
Description:During the five-day workshop, selected participants will receive lectures from international experts from the IAEA, China, and other IAEA Member States, and they will also actively engage in interactive discussions. The workshop will provide participants with a theoretical foundation in the most crucial research and technology development areas of innovative reactors and energy systems, as well as safety considerations and familiarity with modern physical models and simulation codes for the design and safety analysis of innovative nuclear reactors of SMR types, specifically sodium cooled fast reactors, lead cooled fast reactors, high temperature gas cooled reactors, and molten salt reactors. In this Interregional Workshop on “Advances in Fast-neutron Spectrum and Gen-IV type SMR Designs and their Safety Features” hosted by the Government of People’s Republic of China, participants will learn the state-of the art of technology in the following areas: (i) sodium cooled fast neutron SMRs, (ii) heavy liquid metal cooled fast neutron SMRs, (iii) molten salt SMRs, (iv) gas cooled SMRs, (v) safety aspects of innovative technologies and (vi) technology and research in support of SMR development. Three group discussions — on (i) in-factory construction, (ii) technological challenges to be resolved and (iii) benefits of Gen-IV SMRs including market needs will provide a comprehensive understanding of the most relevant topics in this area.
Applicants:The event is open to up to 30 participants from the following Member States participating in the TC Project: Algeria, Armenia, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Türkiye, United Republic of Tanzania, Uzbekistan, Zambia.
