Nuclear 2010
2010-05-26 00:00 - 2010-05-28 00:00
Purpose
Nuclear 2010 Conference will reflect the efforts of the nuclear energy scientists, operators, industry, regulatory bodies and other decision-makers to prove that nuclear power is a component of the sustainable development.
Nuclear 2010 makes also the necessary link with the high education inviting Professors and students from technical Universities.Nuclear 2010 intends to be an arena for an open exchange of expertise and debates in the Conference topics.
Nuclear 2010 is structured as a three-day meeting consisting in plenary sessions, parallel sessions, poster presentations and round tables.
All papers are included in the IAEA’s INIS DATABASE
A technical visit will follow the Conference on May 28, 2010.

Context
Nuclear 2010 continues to address the major objectives and challenges facing research and technology for nuclear energy today in the context of the increase of the energy supply security and the reduction of the green house-gas emissions.The first two editions of this Conference, were attended by participants from all over the world: Canada, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, South-Africa, UK, China, Egypt, Lybia, Koreea, Japan, and Romania, representing well known research centers, universities, governmental organizations, nuclear industry.
The proceedings of these conferences addressed the priority themes of nuclear power from the perspective of the challenges posed by the future of the energy sector and by the climate change. The nuclear energy regains more and more the recognition of its importance in the energy mix of developed countries, but increasing public trust and acceptance is still necessary.
The previous conferences revealed the international research efforts to solve the scientific and technical issues regarding the most competitive systems of nuclear reactors and the problems that affect or limit the acceptance of nuclear power: safety, waste management and environmental protection, ensuring a high professional performance of the staff involved in this area.

2010-10-11 00:00 - 2010-10-13 00:00
It is recognized that a substantial growth in nuclear energy would take place in the Asian region in the coming decades. Close interactions between Asian countries and the leading countries in the western world would be essential to drive the development in Asia, utilizing innovative nuclear technologies to meet the demands of clean energy and sustainability.
During the conclusion of the first international workshop on “Asian Nuclear Prospects 2008” in Japan, it was decided to conduct the next International Conference on Asian Nuclear Prospects in India. Thus “Asian Nuclear Prospects (ANUP 2010)” is the second in a series of international conferences designed to foster the growth of nuclear energy in Asia. Apart from the Asian countries, the conference organisers would make efforts to attract active participation from European countries as well as USA, Russia, Canada, and others. Special efforts are also being made to integrate countries with new energy initiatives in Asia, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Egypt, etc.
The meeting would provide young Asian scientists and engineers a forum to interact with and learn from world experts in nuclear technology; this is one of the main objectives of ANUP 2010. Several technical sessions focusing on nuclear energy and technologies with plenary and invited presentations by eminent professionals in the field are planned, in addition to poster sessions and presentation by young authors. Support of TWAS, OECD, IAEA and nuclear societies of other Asian countries have also been solicited.

The course provides an introduction to CANDU reactor safety and licensing principles, at the same time offering an overview of the major systems in a CANDU plant. The course is ideally suited for beginning professionals, but also beneficial to experienced professionals who wish to broaden their knowledge beyond their own field of expertise.
Continental breakfast, buffet lunch, and coffee breaks are provided each day. There will also be a banquet on the second evening of the course. The after-dinner speech at the banquet will highlight a timely topic in the Canadian Nuclear industry.
Topics to be covered in the course include:

Design and licensing fundamentals
Core-physics safety analysis
Thermalhydraulics
Safety-related systems
Deterministic and probabilistic safety analyses
Severe core-damage assessment
Safety R&D

Background
Top of Page
A greater use of nuclear energy will be required to achieve sustainable emissions-free energy production and energy use while economically meeting the requirements of security of supply (energy independence) and growing demand. Nuclear energy will continue to make a substantial contribution to meet the world’s energy needs based on the sound foundation of existing reactor technology, infrastructure and resources (natural resources and human capital). To ensure that nuclear energy can contribute its full potential, reactor and related nuclear technologies, in particular nuclear fuel cycles, must continue to evolve. Heavy Water Reactor (HWR) technology is uniquely suited to respond to the future needs because of its inherent technical characteristics and associated fuel cycle flexibility. With the looming renaissance of nuclear power, major plans for new builds have been established or considered in many countries. In cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) is organizing the International Conference on the future of HWR (HWR-Future). This conference is aimed at providing a forum for discussion of advancements and issues, sharing information and technology transfer, and establishing future collaborations on reactor design, fuel design, material and chemistry, thermal-hydraulics and safety, and operating experience for HWRs. The official language of the symposium is English.
