Under the guidance of the NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), the Working Party on Scientific Issues and Uncertainty Analysis of Reactor Systems (WPRS) studies the reactor physics, fuel performance, and radiation transport and shielding in present and future nuclear power systems. The working party also studies the uncertainties associated with the modelling of these phenomena, particularly the modelling of reactor transient events.

The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), in collaboration with the European project EASI-SMR, is pleased to announce the International Workshop on Passive Systems Performance and Reliability, to be held in Paris, France, from 30 March to 1 April 2026. This workshop is organised under the auspices of the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI), by its Working Group on Risk Assessment (WGRISK) and Working Group on Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA), in collaboration with the EASI-SMR project, co-funded by the Euratom Research and Training Programme.

Passive safety systems are central to the safety concepts of many advanced reactor designs, including Small modular reactors (SMRs) and micro-reactors. Despite their widespread use, consensus is lacking regarding modelling approaches, reliability assessment, and crediting methods in safety analyses. This workshop builds on the 2024 NEA Status Report on Reliability of Thermal-Hydraulic Passive Systems and supports the goals of the Ensuring Assessment of Safety Innovations for SMR (EASI-SMR project), which addresses key safety challenges in light-water SMRs through a structured R&D framework.

TWoFCS 2026 is an international workshop that brings together experts researching nuclear and fuel cycle strategies based on numerical analysis. Since the first workshop held in 2016, six workshops have been conducted to date. In 2026, Japan will serve as the host. TWoFCS2026 will be jointly held with NuMBAC, Japan's nuclear fuel cycle simulation research community and workshop. NuMBAC has evolved to incorporate not only traditional technical perspectives of nuclear fuel cycle simulation but also social science perspectives such as economics and sociology. By jointly hosting TWoFCS and NuMBAC, we aim to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions toward the advancement of nuclear fuel cycles in the future, going beyond conventional technical discussions.

Nuclear energy, driven by recent advancements and 30 years of progress, is key to decarbonising energy and transportation. Innovations like small modular reactors, advanced designs, and micro reactors for naval and space use will contribute, alongside integration with renewables, to ensure diversified and resilient energy systems. PHYSOR 2026 will be the perfect occasion to nourish the spirit of the international collaboration, showing the crucial role of the reactor physics community in delivering physical comprehension, methods, codes, and concepts to the nuclear industry and society in this unique historical moment.

The Seismic Engineering Subgroup of the NEA Working Group on Integrity and Ageing of Components and Structures (WGIAGE) will organise the Workshop to share the current state of practice in Seismic Input Motion Development (SIMD), raise awareness of the need for power spectral density (PSD) checks in the varying SIMD practices, discuss perspectives and recommendations on integrating Response Spectra(RS)-matching with PSD checks, and explore future activities to complement RS with PSD or other best practices in all aspects of seismic engineering. Through a series of presentations and panel discussions, participants will gain valuable insights into the technical rationale on PSD checks and important intensity measures, and how they affect various types of seismic analyses and seismic risk assessments. The workshop will promote international uniformity and efficiency, particularly in supporting advanced reactor designs for which licenses may be pursued in multiple countries. Many of these designs involve innovative systems such as seismic isolators, graphite fuel pebbles, and water pools and other fluid systems that behave in the nonlinear regime during strong earthquakes.

The 12th European Review Meeting on Severe Accident Research Conference (ERMSAR 2026) will be organized by CIEMAT in the framework of the SEAKNOT EU project and SNETP/NUGENIA Technical Area 2.

The ERMSAR, as the only nuclear conference worldwide fully focused on Severe Accidents, is an open and field-specific conference with focus on the latest progress of international knowledge on severe accidents in nuclear power plants. As in the last edition, the scope of the conference includes also innovative nuclear technologies, such as Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs), Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), fusion, etc.

With the current global focus on climate change and the energy crisis, nuclear energy is playing an increasingly important role in achieving deep decarbonization. This was recognized at COP28 in Dubai (2023), where nuclear energy was identified as a major low-emission technology. As of 2024, there are approximately 60 nuclear reactors under construction worldwide and around 110 additional planned reactors, most of which are based on traditional water-cooled technologies. Furthermore, new reactor types such as Small Modular Reactors (SMR) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMR) are gaining traction, demanding innovations in ground and civil structures.

TINCE’26 will focus on the interplay between design and construction, an evolving area that leverages advances in interoperability between BIM and structural calculations. The development of environmentally friendly materials with lower carbon emissions is a key priority. Additionally, the conference will address long-term operational challenges, like structural health monitoring and the development of tools for managing aging effects in nuclear facilities. These include new sensing techniques, non-destructive testing methods, and digital twins to assess and predict asset conditions.

Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) Working Group on Supply Chain (WGSUP)

The nuclear industry recognises significant risks posed by CFSI and acknowledges the need to strengthen procurement processes, supply chain organisational culture, quality assurance/quality control activities and sharing of CFSI events. Addressing these challenges with CFSI — through enhanced quality control, better detection practices, safety culture, sharing the information and targeted training — will help reinforce organisational resilience and ensure the continued safety and integrity of nuclear operations.
