The 6th conference has again adopted the theme: \nManagement of Real-Life Equipment Conditions and Solutions for the Future \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nThe 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. \n  \nProgram\nTop of Page \n  \n\nAdvance Program (2009 Oct 30 oct)\n\n Paper Abstracts\nTop of Page \nCall for Papers Announcement and Registration Information \nTechnical Topics\nThe Technical Program Committee welcomes the contribution of 300 to 400-word abstracts of papers for oral or poster presentation that discuss nuclear steam generators\, heat exchangers\, and condensers in the following general subject areas: \n\nInspection Advancements and Experience\nDegradation Root-Cause Work\nCondition Assessment / Fitness for Service\nMaintenance\, Repair and Modifications\nVibration\, Fretting\, Fatigue\nFouling and Cleaning Technologies\nMaterials\, Corrosion and Chemistry Control\nThermalhydraulic Performance\nLife Management Strategies\n\n \nAbstract Format and Submission\nTop of Page \nSample of Abstract \nAbstracts are to be 300 to 400 words\, formatted in Microsoft Word using 11 pt Helvetica font.

If nuclear power generation is to survive\, it has to meet ever-increasing safety demands. To address the safety-training needs of the Canadian nuclear industry\, the CNS is once again happy to offer the CANDU Reactor Safety course. Previous offerings of this course were very successful and enrolment has been constantly high. This course is eligible for Continuing Education Units in the context of the Engineering Institute of Canada Continuing Education program. \nThe 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. \nContinental 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. \nTopics to be covered in the course include: \n\nDesign and licensing fundamentals\nCore-physics safety analysis\nThermalhydraulics\nSafety-related systems\nDeterministic and probabilistic safety analyses\nSevere core-damage assessment\nSafety R&D\n\n\nFee Structure\nAll fees include GST \n\nCNS Member $693.00 [Must be a CNS member in good standing]\nNon-Member $798.00\nStudent or CNS retiree $315.00\n\n\nCourse Registration\nClick HERE to register for the CNS CANDU Reactor Safety Course 2009 September 14-16 \nThis will create a pop-up window for the conference from www.signupmaster.com (a secure site). Users will get an immediate receipt if they pay by credit card. \n  \nHotels\nThe Course Hotel is the Toronto Marriott Airport Hotel\, Toronto\, shown in the interactive map below.   A special room rate of $139 + $10 parking per night is available.
