Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity for a hands-on training course covering NEA software. Participants will learn how to use the efficiency use the Database for ICSBEP (DICE), the how the Nuclear Data Sensitivity Tool (NDaST) can be used to estimate how integral benchmark predictions will respond to changes in nuclear data.
Suggested hardware: Laptop that is able to launch java webstart applications:
DICE: https://www.oecd-nea.org/dice/webstart/dice.jnlp
NDaST: https://www.oecd-nea.org/ndast/webstart/NDaST.jnlp
Restrictions: None
Duration: ~2.5 hours.
Note: This workshop would be very similar to the one given at ICNC2023, if you attended it, you may want to sign up for another workshop.
