The third meeting of the International Research Centre’s Advisory Council for the MBIR fast reactor took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Attended by over 150 delegates from 18 nations, the event focused on advancing nuclear energy infrastructure, coordinating global scientific programs, and addressing technical engineering challenges. Discussions emphasized the reactor's role in closing the nuclear fuel cycle and minimizing radioactive waste. Representatives from various academic, industrial, and regulatory sectors explored how the MBIR facility can serve as a collaborative platform for "megascience" research. Local officials highlighted the potential for integrating the MBIR with Uzbekistan’s existing nuclear infrastructure to enhance material science experiments and radioisotope production. The gathering underscored a broad international commitment to developing peaceful nuclear technologies and fostering cooperation among global research institutions.
