Scope

Nuclear fuel cycle materials have to withstand demanding temperature, pressure and irradiation environments and are therefore studied to optimise their production and utilisation. The symposium includes sessions dealing with nuclear energy vector materials and processes ranging from fuels for thermal or fast reactors, their analysis after irradiation, their reprocessing for reutilisation and the waste forms. Macro-properties such as thermodynamic, thermophysical and mechanical as well as micro- and nano-structural analysis of these materials are discussed for example comparing properties prior and after irradiation.

Topics

1. Nuclear Fuel Production and Properties
2. Post Irradiation Tests
3. Irradiation Effects
4. Separation and Extraction
5. Corrosion of Nuclear Materials
