In November 2024, in Petten (The Netherlands), I reconvened the GEMINI 4.0 consortium to share the progress made toward achieving the objectives of our GEMINI 4.0 project: confirming that a GEMINI+ system can safely and efficiently decarbonize various industrial activities through nuclear cogeneration of process steam, electricity, and hydrogen at the required large scale. The meeting was hosted by the

The purpose of the event (7-8 November, in Vienna) is to review the activities on the IAEA Nuclear Graphite Knowledge Base (NGKB), to perform the collective quality assurance for new data added to the NGKB, and to plan activities for the next twelve-month period.

The workshop “Nuclear energy beyond electricity” will be held in Warsaw, on September 24, and will address the development of High Temperature Reactors and non-electric applications including process heat and hydrogen production. A technical visit to the MARIA research reactor will be organised on 25 September.

The 20th International Nuclear Graphite Specialist Meeting will take place in the historical city of Bruges (Belgium) and will be hosted by SCK•CEN, the Belgian Nuclear Research Center. It is the continuation of a series of annual conferences that started at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, (Tennessee) in 2000. The most recent editions were held in Vienna (2016), in Baltimore
