Following ten successful ISSNP (2007, Tsuruga, JP; 2008 and 2010, Harbin, CN; 2011, Daejeon, KR; 2012, Okayama, JP; 2013, Beijing, CN; 2014, Jeju, KR; 2015, Kyoto, JP; 2016, Chengdu, CN; 2018, Harbin, CN) among China, Japan, and South Korea, ISSNP-2024 is set for September 23-25, 2024, in Harbin, China's northern ice city. Hosted by Harbin Engineering University and organized by its Digitalization & System Engineering Branch, Chinese Nuclear Society and Heilongjiang Nuclear Society, the event aims to facilitate high-level academic exchange. The event is located in the JW Marriott Hotel, Harbin.

Gathering global nuclear energy experts, discussions will delve into cutting-edge topics: human computer interaction (HCI), human machine interface (HMI), artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, instrumentation and control, and symbiosis of technology in symbiotic systems and nuclear industries. This conference is a crucible of intellectual exchange and a pivotal step towards global nuclear technology collaboration.

The 11th International Symposium on Symbiotic Nuclear Power (ISSNP-2024), which took place from September 23rd to 25th in Harbin, China, is successfully concluded! Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic and geopolitical tensions, we were fortunate to convene a remarkable gathering of professionals and scholars from around the world. The conference was a resounding success, with over 100 distinguished participants from more than 10 countries, representing nearly 20 research institutions. The event was hosted by Harbin Engineering University and was greatly enhanced by the support of the Digital and System Engineering Branch of the Chinese Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Society of Heilongjiang Province. Keynote speakers delivered insightful presentations on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in nuclear energy systems, highlighting the conference's theme. The discussions were rich and varied, covering topics like nuclear reactor safety and risk management, operational performance, energy systems based on nuclear energy, numerical modeling and simulation, and thermal-hydraulic aspects of nuclear engineering. The event also included a technical visit to Harbin Electric Group, offering participants a firsthand look at China's pioneering efforts in power equipment research and production.
