Division Spotlight
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

New edition of IAEA’s Climate Change and Nuclear Power available
The 2024 edition of Climate Change and Nuclear Power has been released by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The 99-page report focuses on the need for a significant increase in investment to achieve goals for expanding nuclear power.
The report: According to the IAEA, the report delves into the financing of nuclear projects as ambitious climate targets draw nearer. It also explores the imperative for financial frameworks to help nuclear energy become a cornerstone of global decarbonization efforts and highlights the challenges and best practices in financing nuclear projects.
Executive Session|Panel
Tuesday, November 14, 2023|3:15–5:00PM EST|International Ballroom East
Session Chair:
RJ Roux (President Lions Global)
Session Organizer:
The panel discussion will include the importance of siting commercial nuclear generation for energy-intensive industries and remote communities requiring clean, firm energy 24/7/365. As a leader in Carbon Emissions Reduction, DOW has led the way with siting an advanced reactor at their Seadrift, TX location. Remote communities and, in some cases remote communities with industrial projects such as mining, envision, and some cases are working towards increasing energy reliability while minimizing their carbon footprint. Ideal for advanced reactor technology deployments.
Canada and the US have long collaborated on peaceful nuclear technologies as neighbors and allies. Regulations for siting advanced civil nuclear technologies is a topic of high interest and ongoing collaboration between Canada and the US.
Key points and perspectives that may be discussed:
In Summary, this panel discussion should provide a comprehensive overview of the role of nuclear energy in meeting carbon reduction goals for energy-intensive industries. Ongoing collaboration between the US and Canada is a key element in reaching carbon emission targets. The Panel will also address the importance of collaborating on regulatory and environmental aspects of siting new nuclear plants in industrial settings.
