Please submit your EXTENDED ABSTRACT to yues@aecl.ca.
Deadline for submissions has been extended to Friday, September 15, 2012

Objective

Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) are hosting the 2^nd International Technical Meeting on Small Reactors. There is growing international interest and activity in the development of small nuclear reactor technology.  This meeting will provide participants with an opportunity to share ideas and exchange information on new developments.

This Technical Meeting will cover topics of interest to designers, operators, researchers and analysts involved in the design, development and deployment of small reactors for power generation and research. A special session is planned to focus on small modular reactors (SMR) for generating electricity and process heat, particularly in small grids and remote locations. On the last day of the Technical Meeting (November 9), AECL will host a tour of the Chalk River Laboratories for all interested attendees. The tour will include the ZED-2 and NRU reactors.

Following the success of the first Technical Meeting in November 2010, which captured numerous accomplishments of low-power critical facilities and small reactors, the second Technical Meeting is dedicated to the achievements, capabilities, and future prospects of small reactors.  This meeting also celebrates the 50^th Anniversary of the Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD) reactor which was the first small reactor (20 MWe) to generate electricity in Canada.

Registration

Please note that the Chalk River Tour is now full, and cannot take any more registrations.

Table-Top Exhibits

There is an opportunity for a few table-top exhibits Nov. 7 & 8 at the 2^nd International Technical Meeting on Small Reactors, which will be held at the Albert at Bay Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario.

An exhibit space with one 6-ft table, 2 chairs and a waste basket will be provided.  The exhibit fee for the two days will be $500 + 13% HST = $565.  One exhibit attendant will have access to the Conference meals.  However, participation in the conference sessions will require full registration to the Meeting.

If your organisation is interested in this opportunity, please communicate with Ben Rouben, CNS Executive Director, at roubenb@alum.mit.edu.    

Topics of Interest

Presentations related to the following topics are of interest to this Technical Meeting:

• Safety and Licensing
• Reactor Physics (physics code validation, bias and uncertainty, benchmarking, etc.)
• Thermalhydraulics (passive safety, heat pipes, etc.)
• Advanced Fuels (new compositions, inherently safe fuels, etc.)
• Instrumentation and Control
• Research reactors and low power critical facilities
• Education and training
• Commercial SMRs for electricity generation
• Small reactors for remote locations
• Autonomous Control and Operation
• Novel Concepts
