Joint ICTP-IAEA Workshop on Radiation Damage in Nuclear Systems: From Bohr To Young

This Workshop will assists Ph.D. students and early-career researchers in developing a quantitative understanding of the impact of radiation damage on materials, both for existing fission and proposed fusion reactors. There is an emphasis on the conceptual progression of theoretical and experimental techniques across spatial scales from atomistic descriptions to the macroscopic behaviour of bulk material. A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Topics: Nuclear materials, nuclear fusion, fission reactor materials, material irradiation, collisional cascades, molecular dynamics simulations, multiscale modelling, kinetic Monte Carlo methods, nuclear kinematics, material defect creation and evolution, neutron and ion proxy irradiation, hydrogen retention in materials
