This Nuclear Energy, SMRs & Fusion session highlights advances in nuclear fission and fusion technologies, with emphasis on their role in low-carbon energy systems. Topics include small modular reactors (SMRs), advanced reactor concepts, fuel cycles, safety analysis, and waste management strategies. Contributions on materials for radiation environments, thermal-hydraulics, and reactor core design are encouraged. Fusion research may cover confinement concepts, plasma physics, superconducting magnets, and power plant systems engineering. The session also welcomes integrated assessments of nuclear in future energy mixes, addressing economics, public perception, regulation, and non-proliferation. Case studies on demonstration projects and hybrid nuclear-renewable systems are particularly relevant.
