WINS is looking forward to exhibiting at ANT 2026 and engaging with the organizations shaping the future of advanced nuclear technologies.

As the deployment of SMRs and AMRs accelerates, nuclear security must remain a core consideration throughout the lifecycle of these facilities: from design and licensing to operation and decommissioning. Building strong security culture, leadership and resilience from the outset will be key to ensuring the long-term success and public confidence in advanced nuclear programmes.

We look forward to connecting with industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to discuss how WINS supports the advanced nuclear community in strengthening nuclear security performance and sharing international good practices.
