AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 05.08.2020

The IAEA once again brings together the fast reactor and related fuel cycles community by organizing the International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: Sustainable Clean Energy for the Future (FR21).

The FR21 Conference will be hosted by the People's Republic of China via the China Institute for Atomic Energy (CIAE) in Beijing from 10 to 13 May 2021.

The FR21 Conference is a follow-up of the previous successful IAEA Conferences FR09 (Kyoto, 2009), FR13 (Paris, 2013) and FR17 (Yekaterinburg, 2017). The last Conference, FR17, was attended by almost 600 participants from 27 countries and 6 international organizations, delivering 240 oral and 200 poster presentations on different fields of fast reactor and related fuel cycle technologies.

Topics: IAEA, Fast breeders

I think our members have understood that one of the biggest issues going forward is making sure that we have a new generation of young people that can take up the work of developing, deploying and operating nuclear facilities in the future.

Despite the benefits, small modular reactors also have disadvantages. In this paper we want to highlight and explore how SMRs challenge the existing nonproliferation regime. Finally, we draw conclusions from the analysis.
