Kazakhstan's National Nuclear Center Introduces Computer Modeling Methods for Reactor Safety
The National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC RK) recently presented its modern computer modeling methods used in the safety justification of reactor facilities. Arthur Suraev, a leading researcher at the laboratory of the branch Institute of Atomic Energy, stated that high-precision computational models have become an important tool for assessing reactor normal operation, design-basis accidents, and beyond-design-basis accident conditions. Suraev noted that computer modeling enables preliminary evaluation of neutron physics, thermal-hydraulic, and structural response processes inside a reactor before conducting complex and expensive experiments. By analyzing interrelated physical processes,...

Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety to Host First Advanced Reactor Safety Technology Symposium
The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) announced that it will host the 1st Symposium on Advanced Reactor Safety Technology (SARST 2026) on September 1-2, 2026, at the Grand Ballroom on the first floor of the Commodore Hotel Busan. The event aims to facilitate exchanges on domestic and international advanced reactor technology trends and safety regulation issues, promoting technical communication and cooperation among regulatory bodies, developers, and research institutions. As the inaugural symposium, SARST is planned to be held annually thereafter. This year's conference will be divided into a plenary session and two technical sessions, covering topics such as the development of regulatory frameworks for advanced reactors, regulatory research progress, responses to standard design certification for innovative small modular reactors (i-SMR), and verification plans for related design features, among other subjects.
