The III World Nuclear Energy Day Is A Partnership Event Between UFRJ and Crea-RJ
Even today, there is a lot of misinformation regarding nuclear energy in Brazil. Therefore, aiming to combat this issue, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) partnered with Crea-RJ to hold the third version of an event in the sector. The III World Nuclear Energy Day brings the main benefits and achievements in science and technology in the sector and will take place in Rio de Janeiro in 2022.
The event will occur this Friday (2) between 8 AM and 1 PM and is being organized by the Nuclear Engineering Program of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). However, this event will gather prominent figures from the scientific community to discuss advancements in the nuclear energy technology sector. Want to know more? Keep reading.

The 2022 Edition of This Major Event Will Have The Theme “Chain Reaction”
The theme “chain reaction” was chosen due to the double meaning of the expression. In other words, the chain reaction is a process that occurs in nuclear energy, due to the fission process for energy generation.

Mature Fields Take Center Stage and Are Expected to Generate New Opportunities in the Oil and Gas Sector
However, this expression also implies a figurative sense in which the goal is to communicate the recent research results in the area. Thus, knowledge would generate a chain reaction in favor of truth against misinformation. Additionally, the goal of the event is to debunk myths about nuclear energy that circulate out there.
The first edition of the event took place in 2020 and was a real success. In this sense, the initiative in Brazil went through a second successful edition, and now it is being held for the third time. The partnership between UFRJ and CREA-RJ brings many benefits and stimulates the expansion of knowledge about the nuclear energy segment.
This major event is essential for increasing the level of public knowledge about nuclear energy production in Brazil. However, the organization of this meeting is the responsibility of undergraduate and graduate students in Nuclear Engineering, PEN/COPPE, and DNC/POLI from UFRJ. Therefore, the 2022 edition is being produced by them in partnership with CREA-RJ.
Where Will The III World Nuclear Energy Day Be Held?
The III World Nuclear Energy Day is one of the largest events in the world on the theme of Nuclear Energy. However, in Brazil, it is being promoted by two major institutions. This event will be held in a hybrid format, with headquarters at Crea-RJ (Rua Buenos Aires, 40 — Centro) and live streaming on the YouTube platform.
The event will take place between 8 AM and 1 PM and will include lectures, roundtables, and workshops with the participation of industry experts. To attend, only online spots are available. However, you can interact in real-time with the event at this link, at the time and date of the event.
