IPCC opens registration for expert review of draft report
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—the United Nations body established to assess the science related to climate change—is offering experts an opportunity to review the draft version of its Sixth Assessment Synthesis Report.
IPCC assessment reports are published every six to seven years. The Fifth Assessment Report, completed in 2014, provided the main scientific input to the 2015 Paris Agreement.
Interested experts can register for participation in the review here. Registration is open through March 13. The review period ends on March 20.

In 2019, the Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Idaho National Laboratory (INL) a grant to develop dynamic procedures and decision-support solutions for advanced reactors. The grant was aimed towards developing and commercializing a system with the functionality to revolutionize operator and system efficiency, as compared to existing paper-based processes. Hear firsthand from principal experts as they describe insights about the new technology that aims to address a variety of industry challenges. Topics of discussion include barriers to adoption and the large number of procedures and data architecture required to address advanced reactors that feature increased levels of automation, sensors, and instrumentation. Panelists will also discuss innovative ways their universities are using the generic PWR (gPWR) full scope simulator in research and the classroom to educate the next generation of nuclear industry professionals.
