We are delighted to invite you to the 2nd Fusion Neutronics Meeting, which will take place from June 8–12, 2026, during the pleasant early summer season at the KIT Campus North in Karlsruhe.
This workshop continues the long-standing tradition of the ITER Neutronics Meetings series, which was hosted at KIT in 2016, exactly ten years ago. Now we expand the scope to encompass a broader perspective on fusion neutronics, inspired by the rapid advancements in diverse fusion concepts and the emergence of private fusion industry initiatives. These include tokamaks, stellarators, laser-ignited fusion, and other innovative fusion approaches, as well as dedicated fusion neutron source facilities and blanket validation/test facilities. The workshop will cover a wide range of topics in fusion neutronics, including but not limited to simulation workflows and modelling, neutron transport, activation analysis, shielding design, and shutdown dose rates. In addition, it will address key aspects such as simulation tools, nuclear data libraries, and nuclear experiments specifically dedicated to benchmarking and validation.
This workshop aims to serve as a valuable opportunity to foster and expand the fusion neutronics community. It will bridge the growing private fusion sector with established public research efforts, facilitating the exchange of expertise and know-how, and establishing and reinforcing connections within the global fusion neutronics community. Furthermore, it will strengthen collaborations on open-source simulation codes, openly available nuclear data libraries, and evaluation efforts.
We would love to welcome you with opening talks on the history of fusion neutronics, interesting scientific talks and social events, technical tours of key KIT scientific facilities, lectures on codes and tools, and enjoyable sunny weather in Karlsruhe with local German beers! See you in Karlsruhe!
