Review of binding.energy 2025

The opening event we organized in February 2025 was, in fact, the first international conference where common topics of fusion and fission were addressed and discussed together. The goal was to enable both industries to learn and benefit from each other. As you can gather from the feedback of the participants, it was a resounding success. The participation of top international experts, such as Aline Des Cloizeaux (Director of the IAEA), Dr. Alain Bécoulet (Deputy Director of ITER) or Dr. Yeong-Kook Oh (President of the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy), contributed to the sharing of the latest research and scientific knowledge at the highest level. Many participants highlighted the establishment of new collaborations and the expansion of their networks into both the fusion and fission sectors as one of the greatest benefits.

"There is much more than we think to learn from fission into fusion." - Dr. Alain Bécoulet (ITER Organization)

REVIEWS

We let our binding.energy conference participants do the talking

"Thanks for the invitation to speak about IAEA support for SMRs and for fusion technology development and deployment in a holistic approach. All nuclear technologies will be necessary to address world's climate challenges and meet the Sustainable Development Goals."

"Good job. Bringing people from Fusion and Fission to exchanges ideas and concerns and more important hopes to make things moving rapidly in terms of Demonstrators and even FOAK reactors build soon. My recommendation pay attention to your fuel and even more to your fuel cycle. I was pleased to share my experience based on MYRRHA."

"Thank you for the invitation! It was a pleasure being on stage, talking about SCK CEN's strategic goals and linking these with Germany's ambitions."

"Thank you for organizing it and for a really incredibly exciting and educational event! 😊 👍 I'm really looking forward to future developments. Who knows how soon the first fusion reactor might be available..."

"This event was of particular interest. It brings together people from the field of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. And I am very happy to have seen that there is a lot of technical expertise and know-how on this technology in Europe."

"I think this event is very important for both industries, because both have very similar problems and complex engineered systems in a safety critical environment. So it is really nice to see how these two can complement each other."

"Thank you for this meaningful and well-organized event! It was a pleasure."

"Many thanks for the organization, the exciting discussions and the opportunity to present compenetce.hub | Advanced Nuclear Fuels GmbH!"

"It is very international. We see that the US is currently somewhat leading with Commonwealth Fusion. We see activity in the UK with Tokamaks. We see that the Chinese are ramping up the business. It is a world wide endevour."

"There is so much overlap in the challenges, and the ultimate goal is the same: to replace fossil fuels and provide energy for a sustainable future. There is a lot of overlap in the topics. I think that they are mutually beneficial and that technology can converge to supplement the challenges that nuclear fusion is currently facing."

"A really successful start! THX for having me. 😇"
