Joint G4SR & DIET • Full Day Monday October 5th
As SMRs and advanced reactors move from concept to deployment, the nuclear sector faces a defining challenge: earning and sustaining public trust across a landscape shaped by misinformation, complex science, and the imperative of meaningful Indigenous partnership. This full-day workshop brings together a deliberately interdisciplinary group of researchers, regulators, industry practitioners, and community voices to do the kind of thinking and practice that technical sessions alone cannot. The workshop’s foundation is built upon the interests, needs, questions, and concerns of people, communities, and rightsholders.
Drawing on nuclear science, science communication, risk perception, Indigenous engagement, and policy, participants will move through structured dialogue and interactive exercises to discuss and develop practical, transferable approaches to nuclear public engagement to build interest and knowledge before the regulatory required engagement processes. The day is designed to produce both personal takeaways and a collective, tangible output that participants help shape together.
Joint G4SR & DIET • Full Day Monday October 5th
As the global nuclear industry moves from planning to deployment, advanced manufacturing and additive manufacturing (AM) are emerging as critical enablers of cost reduction, schedule certainty, supply chain resilience, and innovation. From large reactor refurbishment projects to next-generation SMRs and advanced reactors, manufacturers are increasingly exploring new production methods, digital technologies, and qualification pathways to improve competitiveness and support nuclear-grade quality requirements.
This workshop builds on a series of discussions, studies, and industry engagements undertaken over the past year, including sessions delivered at Conexus Collaboration Week, CSA Group research initiatives examining advanced manufacturing and emerging digital technologies in the nuclear sector, and industry workshops held CSA’s office in March. These activities have helped identify both the opportunities and barriers associated with broader adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies across the nuclear supply chain. The workshop is intended to move beyond awareness-building and toward the development of tangible actions, partnerships, and project proposals that can enhance the competitiveness, productivity, and export readiness of Canada’s nuclear supply chain.
Half Day Monday October 5th
This workshop will explore the role of SMRs in integrated energy systems, covering topics from technology development and deployment pathways to safety, security, and regulatory considerations. Discussions will examine how SMRs can be adapted to different grid structures and energy market conditions around the world, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and lessons learned in advancing multipurpose nuclear energy solutions for a net-zero future.
Half Day Monday October 5th
This half-day workshop will focus on the state of Canada’s nuclear innovation infrastructure. The workshop will foster discussion about the status of the infrastructure including opportunities for technical innovation, industry support, and workforce development.
Objectives include:
- Sharing lessons learned about research infrastructure that is operational or under construction.
- Exploring the strengths and gaps in the nuclear innovation infrastructure.
- The output of the workshop will be actionable ideas for collaboration on existing infrastructure and potential future infrastructure.
