Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Forum
Monday & Tuesday,
June 15 - 16, 2026
We’re dedicating two full days to Radiation Monitoring Systems (RMS) and Neutron Flux Monitoring Systems (NFMS). Whether you operate, maintain, or are evaluating Instrumentation & Control (I&C) solutions, this track offers an opportunity to collaborate with peers, exchange experiences, and contribute to the future direction of the Mirion portfolio. Scheduling the I&C Track on Monday and Tuesday allows you time to explore Mirion Connect throughout the week — training, keynotes, and cross-discipline sessions.
Key Topics
- Product Overviews and Roadmap Insights
Gain insights on near-term enhancements and long-term direction to help plan upgrades, expansions, and lifecycle strategies with confidence. - Customer Case Studies
Hear real-world lessons from successful I&C implementations, including new builds, retrofits, advanced nuclear, research reactors, and fuel cycle plants. - Applied Analytics and Spectrum Analysis
Practical techniques for interpreting spectra in RMS environments and turning data into decisions for alarm setpoints, trending, and diagnostics. - Troubleshooting and Software Tools
Tips to take back to your site — configuration pointers, common pitfalls, and efficiency boosters drawn from field experience. - Interactive Forum and Expert Q&A
An open dialogue with Mirion engineers and fellow users to compare approaches, swap best practices, and surface feature requests.
Who Should Attend
Plant engineers and technicians, radiation protection and safety professionals, maintenance planners, project managers, system integrators, and anyone evaluating I&C for new builds, upgrades, or replacements. Current users and prospective customers.
Two-Day Format
Each day builds on foundational updates to deeper dives and user-led content, with dedicated time for discussion and networking. Expect a blend of presentations, demos, and roundtables designed to maximize take-home value and peer learning.
