Technical Meeting on Digital Technologies to Advance Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

The International Atomic Energy Agency is organizing a Technical Meeting on Digital Technologies to Advance Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities at the Vienna International Centre, Austria, from 4-8 September 2023.

The purpose of the event is to share with Member States the preliminary results of the collaborative project launched in August 2022 on new and emerging digital tools and technologies used in data management, planning, licensing and implementation of decommissioning (“NET4D project“).

The NET4D collaborative project addresses three interconnected topics:

• Technologies for conversion of unstructured legacy data into a structured format connected to digital model of facility
• Emerging technologies for the generation of detailed digital models from Point Cloud data including the use of automated digital tools
• Digital Model selection for variety of different decommissioning challenges during planning and implementation.

The event will also provide an opportunity for the exchange of information and lessons learned from the practical application in Member States of new and emerging technologies to support decommissioning projects.

As the number of in person participants is limited, priority will be given to those wishing to make a presentation. Accordingly, to assist in finalizing the meeting agenda, you are kindly requested to provide a short abstract of your proposed presentation together with the completed participation form.

The deadline for submission of nominations for this event, via the competent national authorities, is 10 July 2023.

In order to be designated by an IAEA Member State, participants are requested to send the Participation Form (Form A) to their competent national authority (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Permanent Mission to the IAEA or National Atomic Energy Authority) for onward transmission to the IAEA by 10 July 2023.
