Nuclear Safety
Safety, durability, and innovation in nuclear systems under complex operating conditions
Nuclear Safety
The session “Nuclear” at the MPA Conference 2026 highlights current challenges and innovations in ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of nuclear systems. Key topics include fatigue life assessment of critical components operating under complex loading and environmental conditions, as well as the specific demands posed by corrosive environments in nuclear applications.
A particular focus is placed on the development and evaluation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), addressing their design, materials performance, and structural integrity as well as long term operation of nuclear power plants. In addition, the session covers strategies for safe storage of nuclear materials, including long-term behaviour, containment solutions, and monitoring approaches. Last year, special attention was given to the challenge of long-term operation and remaining fatigue life of components subject to corrosive environments and thermal transients.
Bringing together experimental research, advanced modelling, and regulatory perspectives, this session aims to foster discussion on sustainable and safe nuclear technologies for the future.
The covered topics include, but are not limited to:
Join us for an interesting session with lots of insightful presentations from renowned experts, engaging panel discussions and workshops, networking opportunities with peers in the field and possibilities to explore cutting-edge modeling techniques and applications.
