IAEA project aims to develop polymer irradiation model
The International Atomic Energy Agency has launched a new coordinated research project (CRP) aimed at creating a database of polymer-radiation interactions in the next five years with the long-term goal of using the database to enable machine learning–based predictive models.
Radiation-induced modifications are widely applicable across a range of fields including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental applications, and exposure to radiation is a major factor when considering materials used at nuclear power plants.

The Griffin workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding and hands-on training of advanced reactor simulation capabilities in Griffin.
Morning session (8am – 12pm): focuses on prismatic-type high temperature reactor (HTR) applications, including hands-on training in mesh and cross section generation, depletion, and core transport calculations in steady-state and transient conditions.
Afternoon session (1pm – 5pm): focuses on fast reactor (FR) applications, including hands-on training in mesh generation and cross section generation workflow, core transport calculations in steady-state and transient conditions, and fuel management capability.
The registration deadline to ensure software download for the hands-on workshop is Wednesday, April 9th, at midnight.
