The NuMat organizing committee wishes to announce the fifth
meeting will be held at Motif Seattle, WA, USA from 14 – 18 October 2018. The
fifth meeting follows our most successful NuMat, held in Montpellier in 2016,
attracting nearly 500 delegates.
The nuclear materials conference, created in association with The Journal of
Nuclear Materials, serves as an umbrella for international meetings on nuclear
materials science related to fission and fusion reactors and the overall
nuclear fuel cycle. NuMat 2018 will combine eight topic tracks in five parallel
sessions, covering nuclear fuels, structural materials, molten salts and
materials for waste management. There will be ten international keynote
speakers, including the recipients of the Robert Cahn Award and the Journal of
Nuclear Materials best paper award.
Topics:
- Thermodynamics and Thermal Properties of Nuclear Fuels
- Structural and Functional Materials for Fission and Fusion Reactors
- Modelling and Simulation of Nuclear Fuels
- Modelling and Simulation of Structural Materials
- Behavior of Materials during Severe Accidents and Accident Tolerant
Fuels
- Radiation Damage Processes in Materials and Complex Microstructures
- Characterization of Irradiated Materials and Nuclear Fuels Materials for the
Nuclear Fuel Cycle
The organizers of NuMat encourage scientists involved in experimental and
theoretical studies to participate in this conference, particularly in studies
aimed at understanding fundamental properties of nuclear fuels and materials
under irradiation.
We hope that you will join us in addressing the materials challenges in nuclear
energy and we look forward to welcoming you to Seattle!
