The ESFR-SIMPLE project is pleased to announce that registration is now open for its upcoming Workshop on Advanced Fuels and Fuel Performance Issues, which will take place in Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France.

This workshop is designed for researchers, engineers, and PhD students working on, or interested in, advanced nuclear fuels for fast reactors. It will provide an opportunity to exchange recent scientific advances, discuss challenges, and explore future directions in the field.

What to Expect

The workshop format consists in 1.5 days of presentations and discussions where participants will share recent advances regarding nuclear fuel and a
half-day dedicated to visiting an installation.

Presentations will be 20 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. No paper submission is required. This event is intended for researchers, PhD
students, and engineers interested in advanced nuclear fuels for fast reactors.
