DNN TECH’s 3S Summer School for Advanced Reactors
Participate in DNN TECH’s inaugural Safety, Security, and Safeguards (3S) Summer School for Advanced Reactors, hosted by Idaho National Laboratory and sponsored by the NA-22 TECH consortium. This program offers a unique opportunity to engage with subject matter experts through lectures and facility tours, with a focus on advanced and small modular reactors (A/SMRs). The course will delve into pressing challenges and critical research areas across safety, security, and safeguards. As new reactor designs are integrated into both domestic and international nuclear fleets, they bring distinctive hurdles related to fuel fabrication, licensing, human factors, digital infrastructure, and material accountancy. Leading instructors from Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories will share insights on current strategies-spanning both technical solutions and policy frameworks-to address these complex issues.
Where/When: Idaho National Laboratory, July 6-10, 2026.
