2012 - Progress in Nuclear Energy and Education Conference

The Progress in Nuclear Energy and Education conference provides a forum for nuclear scientists to discuss the cutting edge science and engineering aspects of nuclear energy together with increasingly more important safety, policy, resource and educational requirements of the industry.

The main areas of interest for this conference are advanced and evolutionary reactor designs, the safety of such plants, policy, engineering and resources, and educational challenges such as the shortfall of experience and skills in the sector.

TOPICS COVERED:

*Advanced and Evolutionary Reactors*
Generation 3-plus and 4 reactors and modularisation
Small reactors in localised applications

*Policy/Economics*
Nuclear fission for future energy
Nuclear energy policy development

*Safety*
New reactor types
Fuel cycles and reprocessing
Environmental impact assessment of new builds
Regulatory issues
Safety implications of novel fuel designs

*Engineering and Resources*
New computational modeling needs
