ANTS 2026 will be the first European conference dedicated to space nuclear technologies, bringing together leading experts from across the global space and nuclear communities. The ANTS conference was established to provide a consistent platform linking Europe’s expanding nuclear and space sectors, as no regular forum currently exists to connect these two rapidly evolving communities. The conference

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) latest high case projection for nuclear power capacity in 2050 sees a 150% increase from current levels to 992 gigawatts. This reflects decisions around the world supporting the long-term operation (LTO) of existing reactors, new construction of large nuclear power plants (NPPs), and the development and deployment of small modular

The conference will focus on practical solutions, lessons learned, and emerging strategies that support LTO, with special emphasis on PWR and VVER reactors as well as the unique needs of research reactors. Key Topics Early implementation of ageing management Challenges and solutions in ageing management to support LTO Ageing management of research reactors Lessons learned
