About this joint IAEA GIF Webinar
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) are pleased to announce a joint webinar focusing on advanced nuclear technologies for maritime applications. This event aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospects of advanced nuclear reactor technologies in the maritime sector.
Objectives of the Webinar:
- Present the Current Status: Offer insights into the latest developments and innovations in advanced nuclear reactor technologies tailored for maritime use.
- Explore Potential Applications: Discuss a range of possible uses, including floating power plants, nuclear-propelled cargo ships and icebreakers, seawater desalination, hydrogen production aboard ships or platforms, among other potential applications.
- Examine Benefits and Challenges: Provide an overview of advanced nuclear reactor technologies and discuss the associated benefits and challenges of their maritime applications.
This webinar is part of the ongoing collaboration between the IAEA and GIF to promote education and training in advanced nuclear technologies. It aligns with the IAEA's commitment to supporting Member States in learning about sustainable nuclear energy systems and their diverse applications.
We invite professionals, researchers, and stakeholders in the nuclear and maritime industries to join us for this informative session, which promises to be a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and discussion on the integration of advanced nuclear technologies into maritime operations.
