Suggested Themes

• Development of a ‘risk assistant’, using AI to deliver a real time analysis.
• Using AI to connect group strategic risks (GSRs) information.
• Using advanced 3D/4D design tools in developing their Generic Design Assessment.
• Accelerating fusion R&D with AI
• Understanding the role of complexity in nuclear decision-making within escalating regional conflicts.
• New alert system monitoring factors such as the supply chain risks.
• Risk Innovation with AI to improve risk exposure forecasting, financial modelling, and real-time alerts

Suggested Case Studies

• Able Archer-83 exercise leading to threat of nuclear war.
• 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident which nearly precipitated nuclear warfare.
• Difference in complexity between delivering a European Pressurised (Water) Reactor (EPR) from a Pressurised Water Reactors (PWR), e.g., Flamanville 3 and Olkiluoto 3 (OL3).
• AI and machine learning opportunities to advance fusion research.
• Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) using AI for real time risk assessments
