The 12th International Conference on Emerging Nuclear Energy Systems will take place Aug. 21-26, 2005, in Bruxelles, Belgium. The conference is hosted by the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre, Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie - Centre D'tude de l'Energie Nuclaire, an organization of 600 dedicated people who advance the peaceful, medical and industrial applications of nuclear energy.
The main objective of ICENES 2005 is to provide an international scientific and technical forum for scientists, engineers, industry leaders, policy makers, decision makers and young professionals who will shape future requirements for a broad review and discussion, at world level, of various advanced, innovative and non-conventional nuclear energy production systems. The proposed systems are expected to contribute to a sustainable development of future energy production.
The conference will cover all innovative energy systems and in particular the nuclear ones.
Contributions are requested in the following topics:
1. Advanced Fission Systems
Advanced PWR, advanced BWR, high temperature gas reactors, very high temperature reactors, super critical pressure water reactors, lead cooled fast reactors, sodium cooled fast reactors, gas cooled fast reactors, molten salt reactors and other types of advanced reactors.
2. Fusion Energy Systems
Magnetic confinement systems (tokamaks, stellarators, other advanced configurations), inertial confinement systems (laser and heavy ions driven, z-pinch, electrostatic confinement devices, other advanced configurations), cold fusion and other types of advanced systems.
3. Accelerator Driven Systems
Lead/bismuth ADS, gas cooled ADS, water cooled ADS and other advanced ADS design.
4. Exotic Nuclear Concepts
Space power and propulsion, submarine power and propulsion, direct energy-conversion devices and other exotic nuclear concepts.
5. Transmutation and Fuel Cycle
Actinide transmutation in fission driven reactors, actinide transmutation in ADS, actinide transmutation in fusion driven reactors, advanced radioactive waste management, advanced fuel cycles, recycling, reprocessing techniques, energy sustainability, environmental issues and public acceptance.
6. Co-Generation and Non Electricity Production Applications
Hydrogen production, sea water desalination, heat production, isotopes production and other co-generation applications.
7. Next Generation Systems
Generation IV issues, IAEA-INPRO issues and other international projects issues.
8. Societal Issues
Public information, social acceptance of emerging ideas, ethical choices, education and training and other societal issues.
