Upcoming Events
International Conference on Excellence in Nuclear Construction
At the 2025 nuclear construction conference, industry leaders, policymakers and experts from across the infrastructure and energy sectors will come together to address persistent challenges in nuclear construction. Held over two days, the conference will explore how leadership, governance frameworks and national conditions shape project outcomes. Sessions will examine workforce and industrial culture, contracting structures and incentive systems, highlighting their impact on efficiency and success. Discussions will also assess the promises and risks of modularisation and innovation, investigating why expected benefits often fail to materialise and what barriers must be overcome.
Building on insights from recent and ongoing nuclear projects, the event will also integrate lessons learnt from other major infrastructure megaprojects. Additionally, the conference will examine the implications of global trade shifts and geopolitical dynamics for supply chains, procurement and construction strategies. The programme will feature keynotes, fireside chats and interactive panel discussions designed to encourage meaningful engagement and knowledge exchange.
Joint World Nuclear Association-ICRP Workshop Enabling Sustainable Development Through the System of Protection: Practicality and Alignment
This workshop, jointly organised by World Nuclear Association and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and in coordination with our partners at Bruce Power, Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA), International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), and McMaster University, is a follow-up to the 3 October 2024 webinar that explored a number of key topics which will play an important part in the review and revision of the System of Radiological Protection and in enabling sustainable development such as the COP28 ambition of tripling nuclear capacity.
Conexus’s bi-annual Collaboration Week (CCW)
Conexus’s bi-annual Collaboration Week (CCW) is a unique opportunity for nuclear professionals and technical experts to network, learn from one another, and drive innovation forward.
CCW 2023, held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, brought together over 400 participants from Canada and around the world to share knowledge, best practices, and experiences on topics such as asset management, fuel handling, and research and development.
As the industry manages the existing fleet while advancing new nuclear technologies and builds, while prioritizing cybersecurity, integrating artificial intelligence and other technological advancements, coordination and cooperation across the industry and supply chain will be essential to meet ambitious targets.
CCW 2025 will play a pivotal role in driving innovation and advancing Canadian nuclear energy as a cornerstone of our country’s clean energy future.
The Program will focus on building and empowering the Nuclear Industry of the future, in areas such as:
Supply Chain Performance, Capacity and Quality Recruiting, Training and Development for Nuclear Professionals University and College Partnerships to build the Workforce of the Future SMRs and New Technologies Plant Performance and Equipment Reliability Chemistry and Radiation Safety R&D for Nuclear Excellence Strategic Partnerships
