Curtiss-Wright, Nuclear Division's EQ PowerSuite™, and the Nuclear Utility Group on Equipment Qualification (NUGEQ) will once again host the Annual EQ Technical Meeting November 9-13, 2026.
This unique Technical Conference is wholly dedicated to the EQ Discipline, and is attended by EQ Engineers, EQ Program Managers, Regulators, Vendors and Consultants from around the world. It truly is the singular place where the EQ Community meets, exchanges ideas, and solves common problems unique to the task.
This year’s meeting format will be more blended than past meetings. In the past decade or so, we have normally dedicated Wednesday to EQ PowerSuite™ Topics, Thursday to NUGEQ Topics and Friday morning to International Topics. We are organizing this year’s agenda to focus on a few technical topics. Presentations from our international participants are still wanted and encouraged, but will no longer be segregated.
The conference is being offered and organized as an in-person meeting with a virtual option. Based on attendee feedback, virtual attendance will be accommodated, but to gain full benefit from interactions with industry peers, we strongly encourage in-person attendance.
Attendees will hear presentations on industry best practices, events, products, and regulatory issues from vibrant, diverse, international speakers, with unique solutions to shared problems. We expect a full agenda that will still include at least one utility-only session. Please arrange your travel to attend through noon on Friday.
Abstracts are currently being solicited for consideration of placement on this year's agenda. Presentations will be selected based on the subject matter provided, relevance to important EQ-related topics and abstract submission date. The Steering Committee has prepared topics for consideration but the topics below are not intended to be an exhaustive list. Additional ideas or variations on the topics below are welcome to be submitted for consideration. The topics for consideration include:
New EQ Challenges
Discussion of new EQ-related test data
Impacts of new codes and standards
Impacts of higher burnup or enrichment
Knowledge transfer
Program management
Aging management
Obsolescence issues
Please email your abstracts, no later than August 31, 2026 to Sam D'Amico - sdamico@curtisswright.com
