NUTHOS has provided the international nuclear communities with an information exchange forum of engineering experience\, new research results and future demands on these three subjects. \n  \nThe first NUTHOS was held in Taipei in 1984 followed by Tokyo (1986)\, Seoul (1988)\, Taipei (1994)\, Beijing (1997)\, Nara (2004)\, Seoul (2008) and Shanghai (2010). The success of the previous conferences clearly indicates the high interests of the international nuclear community in NUTHOS and leads to the establishment of NUTHOS as one of the major international conferences in these fields. The ninth of the series\, NUTHOS-9\, will continue the NUTHOS tradition to provide the international nuclear industries\, research institutions and academic organizations an open platform for exchanging their up-to-the-minute research results and engineering experiences.   \n  \nIn light of the recent tragic events at Fukushima\, NUTHOS-9 includes an addition theme to address all aspects of the technical issues related to this event. Special plenary and technical sessions are organized to report on the latest analysis results\, implemented corrective actions\, policy changes\, impacts to operating plants and new orders\, and future perspectives. \nIt is our greatest pleasure to invite you to attend the NUTHOS-9 conference\, to share the latest scientific and technical results.

Can this altruism be taught? Can we ever change this human trait? eg we humans will oppose an initiative on the grounds of a financial impact (a base human cause)but for public consumption we say we oppose on the basis of health and safety impacts – a much higher human cause.\n\n\n\n\n\n14:00-14:30 \n\n\nQuestions/Discussion \n\n\n\n\n14:30-15:00 \n\n\nTravel to McMaster \n\n\n\n\n15:00- 17:00 \n\n\nTour of McMaster Reactor \n\n\n\n\n17:00 \n\n\nEnd of Day 2 \n\n\n\n\n  \nContacts: \nGeneral inquiries may be addressed to the CNS main office at  cns_office@cns-snc.ca\, or call (416)977-7620. \nThe Technical Program Chair\, Brad Moore can be reached at moorebg@hotmail.ca. For sponsorship information please contact Cherie Ferrari at Cherie.Ferrari@kinectrics.com or John Krasznai at john.krasznai@kinectrics.com.

\n\n\n\n\n \nBackground\nTop of Page\nA 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. \nPapers\nTop of Page\nCall for Papers announcement (June 10
