Indian Nuclear Society 2nd International Conference on ?Asian Nuclear Prospects 2010" (ANUP 2010)
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.

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.

Background
Top of Page
The 6th CNS International Steam Generator Conference, which is sponsored and organized by the Canadian Nuclear Society, Design & Materials Division, will follow in the tradition of the five predecessor Toronto Conferences of 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006.
This conference provides a wide ranging forum on nuclear steam generator technology from degradation root-cause assessment to life-cycle management to inspection and maintenance as well as functional and structural performance characteristics; it does not focus on equipment architecture or design. The 6th conference has again adopted the theme:
Management of Real-Life Equipment Conditions and Solutions for the Future
This theme is particularly appropriate given the current renewed focus on the long-term reliability of Alloy 800 steam generator tubing material; and on the life-cycle-management measures necessary to enhance that reliability given the lessons-learned from recent and ongoing operating experience.
The conference objective is to explore the current condition of existing steam generation equipment, with emphasis on solutions for improving performance and service-life for existing equipment and the application of this knowledge to the next generation of replacement and new-build steam generators. Heat exchangers, condensers and balance-of-plant technology for nuclear power generation will also be discussed.
The conference will be of interest to those involved in the operation, maintenance, inspection, repair, replacement, life assessment, manufacture, design or research of steam generators and associated systems; also of heat exchangers, condensers and balance-of-plant equipment in nuclear power generation applications.

A short abstract of 50-100 words must be placed at the beginning of the paper. A length of ~10 pages with an electronic file size of less than 5 MB is suggested for a typical paper.
Guidelines for Other Submissions:
Discussions or presentations without written papers are also welcome. These however will of course not appear in the Conference Proceedings. A statement of commitment to present without a written paper is still required. This can be done via the paper-submission link on the Conference website. Simply give a title for the talk and indicate that it will be without a written paper. All such commitments are subject to Organizing Committee acceptance, as are written papers.
Procedure:

Submissions of full papers should be made electronically, preferably in MS Word format, through the Annual Conference electronic submission system. To help with planning, authors are kindly asked to log onto the electronic submission system and input the title and main author of their planned paper even before making the full submission.
