SUMMARY:1st International Conference of Materials\, Chemistry and Fitness-For-Service Solutions for Nuclear Systems
DESCRIPTION:Click Here for the MCFD-2019 Image Gallery \n \nVisit the CNS Materials\, Chemistry & Fitness-for-Service Division\nhttps://www.cns-snc.ca/about-cns/divisions/mcfd/\nConference \n Date: May 15 – 17\, 2019 |  Conference Venue: Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites Conference Centre                               8500 Warden Avenue                                       Markham\, Ontario L6G 1A5        Canada Contact: Chantel Megaffin |  Phone: 416.915.3020 x 118 |  Email: chantel@redstoneagency.ca \nObjective\nThe focus for the MCFD-2019 Conference is on the approaches used to demonstrate the continued Fitness-for-Service (FFS) of components in Nuclear Power Plants. Ever increasing demands for FFS demonstrations often require innovative and multidisciplinary solutions that involve elements of engineering from: materials\, chemistry\, stress analysis\, thermal-hydraulic analysis\, probabilistic assessment methods\, examination and inspection approaches\, and operational strategies. This is the case for most major nuclear plant systems and components\, regardless of reactor type. \nObjectives of this conference are: \n\nto provide a forum for exchanging views\, ideas\, and information relating to innovative FFS demonstrations\, and\nto share technical engineering in support of life extension and refurbishment of nuclear plant major components.\n\nThe conference will be of interest to representatives from various sectors of the Nuclear Industry including: material and equipment vendors\, technical and engineering service providers\, utility technical staff\, regulators\, designers\, researchers\, students\, and academia. \nClick here for the Conference Poster. \nCall for Papers\nImportant Dates \nAbstract Submission Deadline:               March 15\, 2019Author Notification of Acceptance:        Begining March 15\, 2019Full Presentations Due:                           April 30\, 2019Conference:                                             May 15-17 2019 \nPlease click here for technical topics and abstract submission guidelines. \nClick here to submit your abstract.  \nRegistration\nNote: All fees in CAN$Note: To register as a CNS member\, your membership must be in good standing for 2019)All prices include HST (#870488889 RT). \n\n\n\nRegistration\nReceived after March 30\, 2019\n\n\nCNS Member\n$975\n\n\nNon CNS Member\n$1\,075\n\n\nCNS Retiree Member\n$360\n\n\nFull-Time Student (CNS Member*)\n$310\n\n\nConference Cocktail/Banquet\n$130\n\n\n\n * Are you a student but not a CNS member?  Sign up now for FREE to be eligible for our Full-Time Student pricing!  Enrollment at a Canadian Institution is required to be eligible. \nThe CANDU Chemistry Course is complimentary with a full conference registration.

Twenty-three (23) of these systems have their chemistries monitored as part of either corrosion control and/or reactor control. \nTaking a distinctly historical perspective\, and sprinkled with interesting anecdotes\, the course will concentrate on those systems that have their chemistries controlled to minimise corrosion and extend component life; specifically\, those systems that have caused significant expenditure\, primarily as a result of corrosion. Along with the actual water chemistry in these systems\, you’ll come to understand how chemistry is affected by and\, conversely\, affects the materials of construction. \nA hint at the flavour of the course material: \nThe boilers\, or steam generators\, are the dustbin/garbage can of the pressurised water reactor. Not surprisingly\, then\, these components have resulted in the greatest expenditures to fix and prevent further degradation. \nIn addition to being the garbage can of the reactor\, steam is generated to spin the turbine and generate electricity. This simple act of boiling water causes concentration of impurities which can result in a corrosive environment for tubing. Should the boilers have accumulated deposits there will be amplification of the corrosive environment. What might be surprising is that the degradation is not limited to occurring whilst the boilers are hot! \nThe course should be of considerable interest to all\, from novice engineer to chemistry expert. Come ready to be engaged\, informed\, and entertained! \n* This course is complimentary with a full conference registration. If you would like to purchase a ticket to attend ONLY the chemistry course\, it is available upon request for $200.
