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. Following on from NuMat 2020 Online, where over 500 delegates presented their work, NuMat 2022 will focus on broad topics of interest to the nuclear materials community centred around structural components and fuel systems. For the 2022 meeting a session will be dedicated to special topics such as cements and ceramics, polymers, and advanced manufacturing.
