Fusion has the potential to provide a low carbon, safe, secure, continuous and sustainable source of energy that could contribute to the decarbonization of global energy production in the long term. The commercialization of fusion energy is accelerating, and countries are beginning to implement their regulatory frameworks. Governments need to consider the safety and security of future fusion facilities early, ensuring that fusion energy production is safe and secure and used for only peaceful purposes. Building on the 29^th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, this event will discuss fusion safety and security considerations and how the IAEA could play an important role in setting international standards. This event is organized by the United Kingdom.

This event will be held on Wednesday, 18 September 2024, from 1.00 p.m. to 2.00 p.m. in Conference Room CR5, C Building, seventh floor.
