The Pan-Canadian TRISO Focus Group Meeting, co-organized with CCEM, McMaster Engineering and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), is a one-day event bringing together researchers from across Canada to advance university-led nuclear fuel innovation. Featuring presentations and panel discussions, the workshop highlights cutting-edge ongoing work in modelling, materials characterization, fabrication, high temperature TRISO fuel behaviour, and layer material evolution under irradiation, just to list a few research areas.
This national event is also linked to the 8th International Workshop on Material Properties of TRISO Fuels hosted by CNL from July 14–16, 2026, under the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) system Fuel and Fuel Cycle Project Management Board (FFC-PMB) framework. This international event fosters collaboration, knowledge exchange across the global nuclear research community, and engagement with industrial and regulatory stakeholders.
