Webinars
The GIF Education and Training Task Force has organised a webinar series which features speakers from around the world, explaining why GEN IV reactor systems are crucial for the sustainability of the nuclear fuel cycle. The webinar series was launched in 2016 with a presentation by former GIF Chair John Kelly on “Atoms for Peace – the Next Generation” and includes monthly webinars.
All webinars are also accessible on “YouTube” under the "GIF Education and Training Working Group".
By following the links in the years below, you will access all past and future webinars.
