Program
|
The theme of the program is “Integrating Criticality Safety into the Resurgence of Nuclear Power”. The technical program will begin on September 19 with an opening plenary session. Three or four speakers will be invited to provide presentations covering criticality safety research, applications, education and international programs. The plenary session may be a webcast, visible to any interested person on the internet. (The remainder of the meeting will be closed, i.e. not broadcasted.) The meeting schedule is shown below. The meeting will be “single-track”, i.e. parallel technical sessions will not be held. Note that a poster session will be held on Tuesday afternoon in leiu of a paper session. |
