Nuclear energy continues to contribute to global electricity generation by providing reliable, low-carbon baseload power that complements renewable energy resources. Recent developments in advanced reactor technologies, small modular reactors, fuel innovation, and enhanced safety systems are expanding the role of nuclear power in achieving long-term climate and energy security objectives.
This session will examine scientific and engineering advances in reactor design, nuclear fuel cycles, waste management, radiation safety, digital monitoring systems, plant modernization, and regulatory developments. Discussions will also address emerging technologies such as Generation IV reactors, fusion research, and hybrid nuclear-renewable energy systems that support future sustainable energy infrastructure.
Researchers, nuclear engineers, regulators, and technology developers are invited to present studies on reactor performance, operational safety, licensing, advanced materials, decommissioning, and innovations improving the efficiency and sustainability of nuclear energy. The session encourages evidence-based discussions supporting the responsible development of modern nuclear technologies.
