12th International Symposium on Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors - April 2027
The International Symposium on SCWRs (ISSCWRs) is providing a forum for researchers, engineers, as well as industrial professionals to present their research results and development activities in SCWR areas covering core, fuel and reactor design, materials, coolant chemistry, corrosion, thermal-hydraulics, safety analysis, balance of the plant systems and other corresponding technologies.
The 12th International Symposium on Supercritical Water/Carbon Dioxide Cooled Reactors (ISSCWR-12) will be held in Xi’an, China, from April 12 to 16, 2027. Marking a significant milestone, this upcoming symposium will, for the first time, formally bring together the research communities of both SCWRs and sCO₂ Brayton cycle related nuclear energy application to discuss cross-cutting fundamental problems and collectively advance both fields.
The event is organised by Xi’an Jiaotong University in cooperation with the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
