10-year FIDES-II strategic plan will define key research needs in a variety of technical disciplines.
Around 50 delegates from 22 countries and 2 international organisations gathered on 6-7 June 2023 for the 73rd CSNI meeting.
The FIDES-II framework is designed to do more than just produce data on transient fuel behavior and safety related issues.
