In addition to presentations by the IAEA and NEA representatives, the event will include presentations by
the participants on their experiences related to design and operational safety, and regulatory oversight in
the use of advanced technologies such as robotics and AI in NFCFs.
The topics that are expected to be covered include:
• Application of the IAEA safety standards and NEA recommendations in use of advanced
technologies in NFCFs.
• Design safety considerations in use of advanced technologies in NFCFs.
• Safety assessment and design safety considerations in use of automation and remote handling
systems in NFCFs.
• Operational safety aspects in use of advanced technologies in NFCFs.
• Qualification, testing and assessment of advanced technologies to be used in NFCFs.
• Use of AI for safety of NFCFs including in the areas of quality control, data analysis, training,
visual inspection and condition monitoring.
• Regulatory review and assessment of the use of advanced technologies in NFCFs.
The presentations will be followed by discussions in working groups on various aspects related to use of
advanced technologies and their impact on safety of NFCFs. The workshop will also identify challenges
in these areas as well as actions to address these challenges
