The International Atomic Energy Agency has brought nuclear science and technology into the spotlight this week at the World Nuclear Exhibition in Paris, showcasing how the sector is responding to growing global demand.
The nuclear sector is experiencing a return to realism, as countries expand existing programmes, launch new ones and update regulations to meet future energy needs. These words from IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi underline the tone of the event and the emphasis on practical, regulatory and programme-level developments.
At the IAEA pavilion visitors can engage with interactive exhibits and games, collect informational materials and speak directly with agency experts. The pavilion is designed to demonstrate how nuclear energy and related technologies contribute to climate goals and wider sustainable development objectives.
The IAEA is announcing a new partnership with AtkinsRéalis and the International Centre based on Research Reactors (ICERR), a collaboration intended to strengthen research reactor capacity and education that supports peaceful applications of nuclear technology.
Alongside the main fair, the Beyond Electricity Expo co-hosted by the IAEA and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission showcases how the nuclear industry is driving solutions beyond power generation, from medical and industrial applications to research infrastructure.
The developments on display at the World Nuclear Exhibition will be of interest to Pakistan’s energy planners, researchers and industry stakeholders watching advances in regulation, partnerships and non-power applications. Follow updates to learn more about the IAEA pavilion activities, the new ICERR collaboration and demonstrations at the Beyond Electricity Expo.
