SUMMARY:2022 Fuel Conference
DESCRIPTION:CALL FOR PAPERS\n\n\n\nFollowing the success of the 14th conference held in Mississauga\, Ontario in 2019\, the 15th International Conference on CANDU Fuel to be held in Ajax\, Ontario on August 21-24\, 2022\, will once again bring together international nuclear fuel industry experts involved in research\, design\, fabrication\, operations\, fuel modelling\, safety analysis and regulation. Under the theme of “Advanced Fuel Manufacturing and SMR Initiatives for a Cleaner Energy Future”\, the technical sessions will cover topics on design\, development\, modelling\, qualification and manufacturing including CANDU and Small Modular Reactors (SMR) fuels. A session focused on experiences and lessons learned from non-CANDU fuel types has been added.  The sessions will be composed of:  \n\n\n\nA. Advanced Fuel Manufacturing: Fuel manufacturer experience\, advances in manufacturing & inspection technologies\, additive manufacturing\, blending RU and DU\, fuel manufacturing challenges and improvements. \n\n\n\nB. SMR Fuel: Design\, development\, modelling\, fabrication/synthesis and supply-chain. \n\n\n\nC. Fuel Performance:  Fuel behaviour (normal operating conditions and extended burnup)\, station experience and Hot Cell work & capabilities.  Common causes of fuel failure from other reactor designs are also welcome. \n\n\n\nD.  Fuel Safety:  Performance improvements\, Licensing issues\, accident studies\, fission gas release\, fuel behaviour\, LOCA initiatives and experimental simulation\, fuel acceptance criteria\, fuel deformation and dryout. \n\n\n\nE.  Fuel Design & Development:  Modifications to fuel designs and quality assurance in fuel design and development\, MOX\, inert matrices\, DUPIC\, slightly enriched uranium (SEU)\, recovered uranium (RU)\, Thoria fuel cycle\, Gen IV Fuel Types\, economical and societal implications of fuel cycles. \n\n\n\nF.  Fuel Code Development:  Predictive capability on thermal\, mechanical\, irradiation and fission-gas release behaviour under normal operating and accident conditions and predicting aerosol behaviour.   Advanced code/model development\, which may include radiation protection/ shielding. \n\n\n\nG.  Fuel Management:  Fuel management schemes\, load following\, fuel physics analysis and specific operational challenges. \n\n\n\nH.  Fuel Bundle Thermal Hydraulics:  Critical Heat Flux assessment\, Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling\, reactor aging\, pressure tube performance and fuel simulation and testing. \n\n\n\nI.  Used Fuel Management:  Fuel handling technology\, spent fuel storage\, and in-storage fuel behaviour. \n\n\n\nJ. Advanced Fuel Modelling and Code Development:  Models that are being developed to further support fuel performance and safety assessment. Multi-physics/multi-scale simulation. \n\n\n\n\nFor further details and guideline on Call for Papers please click here\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT DATES\n\n\n\nThe following are important deadlines for paper submissions\, Awards and Registrations.

If you would like a guest to join us for the Conference dinner and fun night\, please request an additional ticket through the link above. \n\n\n\n IAEA SPONSORSHIP\n\n\n\nAs in the past\, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would continue to patronize this Conference as an in-cooperation meeting and provide funds to support travel of experts who will attend this conference from the Member States involved in pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) fuel development. \n\n\n\nThe IAEA has limited funds at its disposal to help meet the travel costs of participants from these countries.  Preference will be given to participants who are expected to make an important contribution to the event\, and such assistance will be limited to normally one participant per country. \n\n\n\nIf organizations wish to apply for a grant on behalf of one of their specialists\, they should address specific requests to the Conference (copy to Mr. Ki Seob Sim; k.s.sim@iaea.org of the IAEA) to this effect. \n\n\n\nOrganizations/Individuals should ensure that application for grant is: \n\n\n\nAccompanied by a duly completed and signed Grant Application Form giving detailed information on the scientific qualifications of the candidate and signed by the head of the applicant’s organization.Submitted by February 28\, 2022. Click here to Submit your application\n\n\n\nApplications which do not comply with the above conditions will not be eligible to receive IAEA grant. The grants awarded will be in the form of a lump sum\, usually covering part of the travel cost of attendance. \n\n\n\nFUEL TECHNOLOGY AWARD\n\n\n\nAs always\, we are also accepting nominations for the CNS Fuel Technology award to recognize senior or retired individuals who have contributed greatly to the field of Nuclear Fuel. \n\n\n\nPlease send your nomination letters to Dr. Brent Lewis at lewis-b@rmc.ca / Dr. Paul K.
