Description of the initiative

For the 80th anniversary of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction, carried out under the guidance of Enrico Fermi (2 December 1942), the MSc Programme in Nuclear Engineering at Politecnico di Milano will host Rafael Mariano Grossi, General Director of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). The IAEA, created in 1957, is an organization of the United Nations, universally known as "Atoms for Peace and Developement", whose mission is to promote international cooperation in the nuclear field. In 2005, the IAEA was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts for a safer and more peaceful world. The meeting with Rafael Mariano Grossi will take place on 2 December 2022; an important part will be dedicated to interaction with students. The initiative proposed in this Passion in Action aims at guiding all the interested students of the Politecnico di Milano toward this event, and will consist of two preparatory meetings: the first will be an opportunity to learn the history and scientific aspects of the Fermi Pile, the first nuclear fission reactor, and to learn about the IAEA, its activities and its contribution to the challenges of humanity through the peaceful application of nuclear disciplines and technologies; in the second meeting -of a more interactive nature- themes, reflections and questions to be directed to Rafael Mariano Grossi will be identified and discussed together.
