2024 Nuclear Materials Conference (NuMat 2024) (organized in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency)

The Nuclear Materials Conference (NuMat) was created in 2012 in association with the Journal of Nuclear Materials to serve as an umbrella for international meetings on nuclear materials science related to fission and fusion reactors and the overall nuclear fuel cycle.

For the 2024 meeting, three additional plenary sessions will cover the rapidly growing status of nuclear power in Southeast Asia. Two tracks will focus on fuels, two on structural materials, and one on radiation effects and damage in other types of nuclear materials.

There will be seven plenary speakers, plus an opening plenary from the 2024 recipient of the Robert Cahn award, and a presentation from the best paper prize recipient from the Journal of Nuclear Materials. There will be three parallel sessions including workshops and poster sessions which will cover the breadth of research within nuclear materials.

The following broad topics will be covered:

  •Metallic alloys for structural components

  •Refractory metallic materials

  •Cladding materials including coatings

  •Fuel materials, absorbers, and fuel cladding interaction

  •Cement & ceramics

  •Polymers

  •Advanced manufacturing

  •Simulation of radiation damage

  •Fundamental radiation effects in materials

  •Linking simulations and experiments in nuclear materials

The 8th Nuclear Materials Conference (NuMat 2024) will be organised in Singapore from 14th-17th October 2024.
