NURETH-14
The Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources, Canada, will make a speech at the Lunch on Monday September 26
The 14th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermalhydraulics (NURETH-14) will be held in September 25-30, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario, CANADA. Continuing the tradition of the highly successful series of thirteen conferences, NURETH-14 will gather an international group of leading academic and industry researchers and practitioners engaged in engineering and scientific work focused on nuclear reactor thermalhydraulics. This is the only major conference series devoted solely to the advancement of knowledge in the nuclear reactor thermalhydraulics field. NURETH-14 is a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the field to present results of their work and discuss challenges and new ideas.
A total of 430 papers have now been accepted after peer review. Reviews were done of 588 draft papers after 632 abstracts were sent in. In addition, a number of plenary sessions, keynote speakers and special topical sessions have been arranged. Of particular topical interest is the special panel sessions organized. They include: Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Accident, Issues and Future Directions of Thermalhydraulics Research and Development, as well as Global Cooperation in Nuclear Education and Research; these panel sessions bring together an international group of panelists from all over the world.
NURETH-14 is a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners in the field to present results of their work and to discuss challenges and new ideas with attendees. Make your plans now to attend NURETH-14 and enjoy the technical, social and cultural events associated with this important conference!
