Fire protection has always been a major component of nuclear emergency response and reviews continue to provide insights into how these resources can best be deployed to reduce public risk.   \n Many of the lessons learned from the post-Fukushima reviews will be captured in new and revised international standards (WANO\, IAEA) and Canadian regulatory documents (CNSC\, CSA).   The 1st CNS Technical Meeting on Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness will provide a forum to communicate on challenges presently impacting the nuclear industry and share lessons learned from reviews\, drills\, and major exercises.  \n FSEP-2015 is intended to attract participants from all sectors of the nuclear industry that maintain formal emergency response plans and those municipal\, provincial\, and federal agencies that would provide support during an emergency.  \nCall for Papers\nClick here to download / share the Call for Papers (PDF) document. \nAbstracts\nAbstracts (<250 words) and presentations must be submitted via the submission link.All presentations will be published in a CD to be distributed at the meeting.  The required format of submission is electronic (MSWord or PDF). \nSponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities Package\nClick here to download / share S&E Opportunities Package and forms. \n  \nOur Sponsors\nHost Sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSilver Sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Exhibitors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nClick here to register online. \nNote:  To register as a CNS member\, your membership must be in good standing for 2015. \nAll prices include HST (#870488889 RT)  \n\n\n\n\nRegistering: \n\n\nBy May 1st \n\n\nAfter May 1st \n\n\n\n\nCNS Member \n\n\n$720.00 \n\n\n$820.00 \n\n\n\n\nNon CNS Member \n\n\n$820.00 \n\n\n$920.00 \n\n\n\n\nCNS Retiree Member \n\n\n$400.00 \n\n\n$450.00 \n\n\n\n\nFull-Time Student \n\n\n$400.00 \n\n\n$450.00 \n\n\n\n\nOne-Day Rate Member \n\n\n$410.00 \n\n\n$460.00 \n\n\n\n\nOne-Day Rate Non Member \n\n\n$460.00 \n\n\n$510.00 \n\n\n\n\nFSEP Exhibitor (1 allowed per booth) \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\n  \nKey Dates\n\n\n\n\nAbstract submission \n\n\n2014 December 30 \n\n\n\n\nAcceptance / author notification \n\n\n2015 January 30 \n\n\n\n\nFinal presentation submission \n\n\n2015 April 30 \n\n\n\n\n  \nTopics of Interest\n\n\n\n\nBusiness Performance and Governance \n\n\nHuman Performance \n\n\nTechnology \n\n\nProcesses and Programs \n\n\n\n\nRegulatory Affairs \n\n\nSuccession Planning \n\n\nCommunication \n\n\nNuclear Safety \n\n\n\n\nCodes & Standards \n\n\nInstructional Systems Development/Training \n\n\nEvent Simulation \n\n\nIntegrating Services \n\n\n\n\nLicense and Laws \n\n\nPersonnel Safety \n\n\nEME \n\n\nFire Prevention \n\n\n\n\nOrganizational Design/Alignment \n\n\nHuman Resources \n\n\nFukushima \n\n\nEngineering Change Control \n\n\n\n\nManagement Oversight \n\n\nLeadership \n\n\nEmerging Technologies \n\n\nBusiness Continuity \n\n\n\n\nVisions of the Future \n\n\nEthics \n\n\nAnalytical Tools \n\n\nRisk Management \n\n\n\n\nStrategies \n\n\nHuman Factors \n\n\nFire Protection Systems \n\n\nOPEX \n\n\n\n\nBusiness Metrics \n\n\nManagement of Performance Systems \n\n\nEmergency Response Equipment \n\n\nAnalysis\, Evaluation and Measurement \n\n\n\n\n  \nTechnical Meeting Organizers\nAdvisory Committee: Don Trylinski (OPG)\, Grant Cherkas (OPG)\, Cheryl McCulloch (Global Safety Corp.)\, Ivan Bolliger (CNSC)\, Jacques Plourde (Nuclear Insurance Assoc. of Canada)\, Jeremy Whitlock (CNL)\, Shahina Kurien (Bruce Power)\, Dan McArthur (Bruce Power)\,Doug Tennant (Deep River FD)\, Robert Elliott (Bruce Power)\, Scott Robertson (NB Power)\, Ben Rouben (CNS) \n\n\n\n\nHonorary Chair \n\n\nGreg Rzentkowski (CNSC) \n\n\n\n\nGeneral Chair \n\n\nTracy Lapping (CNL) \n\n\n\n\nTechnical Program Chair (Fire Safety) \n\n\nRudy Cronk (PLC Fire) \n\n\n\n\nTechnical Program Chair (Emergency Preparedness) \n\n\nGarry Fowles \n\n\n\n\n  \nAccommodations \nHilton Mississauga/Meadowvale \nBook your room online for special conference rates. \n  URL:http://15.223.132.57/event/1st-international-technical-meeting-on-fire-safety-and-emergency-preparedness-for-the-nuclear-industry/ CATEGORIES:Past Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20150531T000000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20150603T000000 DTSTAMP:20260406T211505 CREATED:20211217T172929Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211229T230715Z UID:922-1433030400-1433289600@15.223.132.57 SUMMARY:35th Annual CNS Conference 39th CNS-CNA Student Conference OCI-NB Power Supplier Event DESCRIPTION:Bookmark this page.

of the conference PHYTRA will be organized by the Moroccan Association for Nuclear Engineering and Reactor Technology (GMTR) with the collaboration of the National Centre for Energy\, Sciences and Nuclear Techniques (CNESTEN) after the resounding success which the first and second editions PHYTRA1 and PHYTRA2 had met. As for the previous editions\, PHYTRA3 is expected to be an outstanding international event in the MENA region which provides an opportunity for researchers\, academicians and practitioners in the field of physics and technology of reactors to gather\, exchange ideas\, and present original research contributions and best practices. Since the last edition and after the hesitations caused by the Fukushima accident in Japan\, the interest for nuclear energy does not cease increasing and a great number of developing countries including Morocco expressed their intention to include the nuclear option in their national energy plans. In addition to the usual topics of reactor physics\, the PHYTRA3 program will include new topics on education and training in reactor physics and Nuclear safety and security\, which are of great importance for the countries who decide to embark on a nuclear power program.

The 2014 Canada-China Conference on Advanced Reactor Development (CCCARD-2014) is aimed at providing a forum for discussion of advances and issues\, sharing information and technology transfer\, and establishing future collaborations on advanced nuclear reactor R&D between Canadian and Chinese research organizations. \nThe CCCARD-2014 will be of interest to those involved in advanced nuclear reactors design and R&D related to fuel\, materials\, chemistry\, corrosion\, thermalhydraulics\, and safety analyses at organizations in Canada and China.  The official language of CCARD-2014 is English. \nPapers\nTop of Page\nCall for Papers announcement (Oct. 30 2013) \nTechnical Topics\nPapers related to the following topics are of interest to CCCARD-2014:\n\nReactor Designs\nReactor
