The 17^th Workshop on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets, and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-17) will be held at the IBS Science Culture Center of Daejeon, Korea on 20-22 Oct. 2026, and will be hosted jointly by the Institute for Rare Isotope Science (IRIS) and Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL).

SATIF workshops have been held once every two years since 1994, rotating between the United States, Europe, and Asia. In addition to organising these workshops the SATIF group also co-ordinates comparative analyses in between the workshops.

The activities of SATIF are jointly sponsored the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and its Nuclear Science Committee (NSC), and by all participating institutions.

Following the original spirit of the SATIF workshop, the main objectives are:

• Promoting the information exchange among experts in the field of accelerator shielding and related topics;
• Identifying areas where international co-operation can be fruitful;
• Creating task forces in order to achieve progress in specific priority areas.

• Source terms, new accelerator facilities and related topics
• Code status, development and model converters
• Code benchmarking and intercomparison
• Shielding and dosimetry
• Induced radioactivity and decommissioning
• Radiation damage to materials
• Medical and industrial accelerators
• Beam-plasma and laser-plasma interactions and acceleration
• Follow-up of past SATIF agreements and future actions
