SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Shaping the Back End of Innovative Reactor Systems: NEA Initiatives.
DESCRIPTION:About This Webinar\n\n\nThe NEA has launched several initiatives to advance understanding and solutions for the back end of innovative rector systems\, including small modular reactors and Generation IV technologies\, recognising this as a critical element for their responsible and sustainable deployment. A key effort in this area has been the Focus Group on the Back End of Advanced Reactors (FG-BEAR)\, which operated between July 2024 and February 2025. The group identified key gaps and needs across technical\, economic\, societal and regulatory dimensions and developed recommendations for a comprehensive approach to address back-end challenges for these new designs. Additionally\, the NEA joint project on Waste Integration for Small and Advanced Reactor Designs (WISARD) was launched in May 2025. WISARD addresses critical technical areas such as used fuel and waste characterisation\, treatment and recycling\, storage\, transport\, and disposal – focusing on selected systems and fuels relevant to its members. Finally\, recent developments in the global nuclear energy landscape further highlight the strategic importance of revitalising approaches to used fuel recycling and back-end management. \n\n\n  \nSpeakers:\nDr. Gabriele Grassi (NEA)\nDr. Ir.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | "The Next Generation Network of the IGSC - building a platform for the next generation of safety case professionals" and "Atoms\, Ideas\, and Ambitions: The EURAD-2 Young Generation"
DESCRIPTION:About This Webinar\n\n\nThe Next Generation Network of the IGSC – building a platform for the next generation of safety case professionals \nS. Tillmann\, A. Gehrke\, H. El Fatihi\, H. Javanmard\, J. Rimando\, S. Schiffmann \nThe OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC) was established in 2000 and works on the development and improvement of the safety case concept\, which now forms a central pillar of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Safety Standards for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. In developing the safety case concept\, identifying the key questions for safety\, and promoting international dialogue between safety experts\, the IGSC has developed a collaborative international community among those working in this field. However\, many of those involved in establishing the IGSC are now at or approaching retirement. The IGSC has lately identified the need to involve early career scientists in its key processes and working groups\, to ensure a transfer of knowledge and the consideration of the younger generations´ views.\nThe Next Generation Network (NGN) was created as a direct outcome of the 2024 IGSC Safety Case Symposium\, where the importance of engaging early-career professionals emerged as a central theme. The NGN is a professional platform under the IGSC that supports early-career professionals involved in the development of safety cases for radioactive waste disposal. It fosters international collaboration\, interdisciplinary exchange\, and the long-term sustainability of expertise in the field.\nThe NGN identified five major objectives for ongoing and future work: 1) Opportunities shall be created for early-career professionals to develop their expertise in safety case development and related fields and to gain insight into the fundamentals of international methodologies and best practices. 2) The network acts as a bridge for incorporating the perspectives and contributions of the next generation into the broader safety case dialogue. 3) It supports structured knowledge transfer by promoting mentorship\, peer learning\, and other initiatives that ensure long-term retention and transfer of expertise within the safety case community. 4) Participants of diverse technical and non-technical disciplines – such as geology\, engineering\, social sciences\, risk assessment\, and policy – are connected and encouraged to collaborate and exchange knowledge. 5) Visibility and recognition of early-career professionals is raised by presenting NGN activities at relevant conferences\, organizing dedicated sessions for emerging experts\, and promoting the importance of early engagement in knowledge transfer.\nSince the NGN is a relatively new network\, structures are still under development with space for individual ideas. We welcome professionals involved in the development of safety cases\, with a primary focus on those in the early stages of their careers. \nTitle: Atoms\, Ideas\, and Ambitions: The EURAD-2 Young Generation at Work \nAbstract:\nThe EURAD-2 Young Generation is a new community created within the framework of the EURAD-2 Work Package 2 – Knowledge Management and aims at supporting the students and young researchers working within the project and providing a platform for networking and sharing new ideas. In the current Lunch & Learn session the Young Generation representative Simona Šandalová from Politecnico di Milano and Dr. Hanna Rostova from NSC KIPT and Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of Polish Academy of Sciences will present the current and future activities of the community. \n\n\nSpeakers:\nAnne Gehrke\nSimone Tillman\nHanna Rostova\nSimona Šandalová \nClick here to watch the recording of this Lunch & Learn session. \nClick here to view all Lunch & Learn sessions.
