Summary

Building on last year's sold-out event in Manchester, the Institution is delighted to announce the return of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design conference, which will provide a key forum for all technical innovators, manufacturers, designers, and government regulators involved to meet, discuss technical developments and share updates on the latest AMR and SMR projects in the UK and abroad.

At the start of 2024, the UK government released their roadmap to increase nuclear generation by up to four times to 24GW by 2050. Key elements of this plan include the support of new power stations, a high-tech fuel programme, and smarter regulation. Continuing work on advanced nuclear reactors and the production of energy by Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is paramount to such plans.

Building on last year's sold-out event in Manchester, the Institution is delighted to announce the return of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor Design conference, which will provide a key forum for all technical innovators, manufacturers, designers, and government regulators involved to meet, discuss technical developments and share updates on the latest AMR and SMR projects in the UK and abroad.

Join the 2024 conference and examine how engineers are addressing key engineering challenges, including nuclear criticality safety, data analysis and fault detection, fuel development, and production routes.
