Call for Abstracts

The Reactor Physics Technical Forum invites the submission of abstracts for presentation at the 2026 meeting. This year's primary theme is:


Building confidence in our reactor physics models:

Exploring techniques used to demonstrate our reactor physics models are good enough

Whilst this theme will form a central focus of the meeting, we strongly encourage submissions across the wider reactor physics community. The Forum aims to provide a platform for knowledge exchange, discussion and collaboration across the broad spectrum of reactor physics and closely related disciplines.


Suggested Topics

Abstracts are encouraged in areas including, but not limited to:


  • Modelling and methods developments
  • Industry challenges and innovation
  • Advances in nuclear data
  • International collaboration
  • Interfaces with adjacent technical areas and multi-physics
  • Verification and validation
  • Impact of changes in the energy landscape

We are also keen to receive submissions on topics beyond those listed above where they are likely to be of interest and value to the reactor physics community.

Presentation Format

Presentations will be delivered as part of the conference technical programme. Further details regarding presentation length and format will be provided to successful authors following abstract review.


Submission Deadline

18 August 2026

Authors will be notified following review by the organising committee.

How to Submit

Abstracts should be no more than 250 words and submitted via our online submission portal by 18 August 2026.

Why Present?

Presenting at the Reactor Physics and Technical Forum provides an opportunity to:


  • Share innovative research and practical experience
  • Engage with reactor physics professionals from across industry, academia and government
  • Contribute to discussions on current challenges and emerging developments
  • Promote collaboration across the nuclear community

We look forward to receiving your submission.
