Home Workshop TDB Project Course – Ninth Edition: Thermodynamic Data Collection and Assessment Register for the event About the course The ninth edition of the annual NEA Thermochemical Database (TDB) Project course on the topic of thermodynamic data collection and assessment will take place in person on the 20 September 2025 at Le Méridien, New Orleans, US, in conjunction with the 19th Conference on the Migration of Actinides and Fission Products in the Geosphere. The course is designed to familiarise scientists with current NEA TDB activities and standards, provide an overview of data collection and analysis techniques and work through some real system examples to demonstrate the critical evaluation and data assessment process. Retaining high scientific standards for the collection, interpretation, critical review and application of thermodynamic data is a key goal of the NEA TDB, and helps assure that a strong scientific basis for the safety case is maintained to support international nuclear waste management options.

A growing number of governments and societies have come to recognise the key role of nuclear energy in enabling an energy supply chain that can achieve net zero emissions by 2050. However, to meet the necessary scale and speed for a new era of nuclear projects, substantial reinvestment in the nuclear workforce will be imperative.

The NEA is organising a workshop on initial estimation of back-end costs for small modular reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV technologies. This topic has gained significant attention within both the Committee for Decommissioning and Legacy Management (CDLM) and Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC), reflecting a growing interest from NEA Member Countries. The CDLM Expert Group on Costing for Decommissioning of Nuclear Installations and Legacy Management (EGCDL) is responsible for the organisation of the event.
