12th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WWER FUEL PERFORMANCE, MODELLING AND EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT

12th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WWER FUEL PERFORMANCE, MODELLING AND EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT

16.09 – 23.09.2017, Sol Nessebar Resort, Nessebar, Bulgaria

The WWER FUEL 2017 International Conference is organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Eenergy–Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (INRNE-BAS) in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and supported by the Russian Fuel Company "TVEL" and Kozloduy NPP Plc. The Conference is one of the largest expert forums for discussion and analysis of current and latest achievements in nuclear fuel management technologies.

The scope of WWER FUEL 2017 includes the following topics: nuclear fuel performance and operational experience, improvement of fuel design and operation, nuclear fuel modelling and experimental support, licensing and providing high indicators for quality and safety, experience from the operation of WWER nuclear fuel at nuclear power plants in different countries, etc.

The Conference will be attended by experts from international scientific organizations working in the field of nuclear energy development, representatives of nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel producing companies. Among the participants are professionals of Russia, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Norway, Poland, USA, Hungary, Finland, Czech Republic, India, South Korea and others.

The International Conference on WWER fuel is traditional, this year it is held for the 12th time and has already proved its usefulness and contribution to the enhancement of safety and reliability of the WWER reactors operated over the world.

FOR INFORMATION

INRNE-BAS is the largest research institute in Bulgaria in the field of nuclear physics and nuclear energy. It was founded in 1972 as a successor to the Institute of Physics with Atomic Scientific Experimental Center of BAS.

The laboratories of INRNE work in the following fields: "Theoretical and Mathematical Physics", "Physics of High Energy and Particle Astrophysics", "Nuclear Physics", "Neutron and Reactor Physics", "Nuclear Energy", "Nuclear Methods" and "Radioecology and environment".

As a result of the successful work of Bulgarian nuclear physicists, Bulgaria's membership in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, became possible.
