We are pleased to share an invitation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to participate in the International Conference on Resilience of Nuclear Installations Against External Events from a Safety Perspective – Focus on Climate Change, to be held from 20 to 24 October 2025 at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna, Austria. This conference aims to bring together global experts in the nuclear power industry to exchange lessons learned and discuss best practices regarding the safety and resilience of nuclear installations, particularly in the context of climate change impacts.
Key Themes
The purpose of the event is to bring together experts in the nuclear power industry to share lessons learned regarding the safety of nuclear installations, and to discuss the measures currently used to gauge safety and resilience. A special focus of the event is the impact of climate change on the safety of nuclear installations. Many plants have been designed for loads resulting from natural phenomena, such as earthquakes and floods, based on historical events and on forecasting methods based on historical data. It is well known that climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of many of these phenomena. How the industry is dealing with these impacts is a special focus of the event. It is envisaged that there will be a balanced representation of owners/operators, technical service organizations (engineers, designers and research institutes), regulators, and producers (nuclear steam supply system suppliers) at the event.
Call for Papers
Contributions on the topics listed above are welcome as oral or poster presentations. Submissions are now being accepted via the InTouch+ platform. The synopsis can be submitted through this system from 25 November 2024 until 31 May 2025. Participants are encouraged to share innovative approaches, research findings, and case studies that contribute to the resilience and safety of nuclear installations. Submissions from women participants are strongly encouraged.
