UKAEA and CCP-NTH are delighted to be organising a\u00a0Fusion Thermal-Hydraulics Challenges Workshop<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Wednesday, 19 November 2025, at Inox, University of Sheffield<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The workshop will bring together experts from UKAEA and academia to discuss key challenges in fusion thermal-hydraulics.\u00a0A draft outline of the programme is attached for your reference.\u00a0The programme will feature two main components: 1) Academic research updates, where leading UK university groups will showcase their latest work, 2) Six thematic sessions led by UKAEA researchers, covering critical topics in fusion thermal-hydraulics.<\/p>\n
