SUMMARY:IAEA International Conference on the Management of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Reactors 2019
DESCRIPTION:The IAEA International Conference on the Management of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Reactors 2019 will take place in Vienna (Austria)\, from 24-28 June 2019. \nThe safe\, secure and sustainable management of spent fuel from nuclear power reactors is key to the sustainable utilisation of nuclear energy and covers many technological aspects related to the storage\, transportation\, recycling and disposal of spent fuel and high level waste generated from spent fuel reprocessing. \nThe sustainability of nuclear energy involves the preservation of natural resources and the minimisation of generated wastes. Currently\, in some countries\, the uranium and plutonium remaining in spent fuel are recycled as mixed oxide (MOX) fuel in thermal reactors\, saving natural uranium resources. Future advanced fuel cycles based on next generation reactors aim at making nuclear energy almost independent of uranium natural resources and will dramatically reduce the generated wastes. \nThe 2015 IAEA International Conference on the Management of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Reactors highlighted that there is little integration in the fuel cycle in terms of analysing how decisions made in one part of the fuel cycle may affect another part. Introducing efficiencies into individual steps in isolation can create additional challenges in subsequent steps. In most cases a technical solution can be found\, but this is likely to come at a price. Therefore\, one of the main challenges is to maintain enough flexibility to accommodate the range of potential future options for the management of spent fuel as well as to define and address the relevant issues in storage and transportation\, given current uncertainties. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCOPE AND OBJECTIVES\nThe scope of the conference covers the management of spent fuel from nuclear power reactors from the past\, present and future nuclear energy systems\, and how the management of spent fuel can be affected by the decisions taken in the rest of the nuclear fuel cycle. \nThe objectives of the conference are: \n\nto provide a forum for the exchange of information on national spent fuel management strategies and on how a changing energy mix could impact these strategies to enable the achievement of national energy goals;\nto illustrate the impacts of an integrated approach to the nuclear fuel cycle on the management of spent fuel from power reactors\, considering technological developments\, regulatory requirements and safety; and\nTo allow for the evaluation of advances in the management of spent fuel from power reactors to overcome current issues and to identify strategies and anticipated challenges to be addressed in preparation for the future;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAUDIENCE\nThe conference is aimed at scientists\, designers\, operators\, regulators and others with responsibilities within the field of spent fuel management. \nThis includes: practitioners; policymakers responsible for and experts and representatives from specialist organisations that contribute to the management of spent fuel; international and regional organisations with relevant competencies; national governmental authorities; manufacturers and service providers; and other entities engaged in activities relevant to spent fuel management. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAIN TOPICS TO BE COVERED\n\nNational strategies for spent fuel management;\nSpent fuel and high level waste storage (short term\, long term and extended) and subsequent transportability;\nTransportation in the back end;\nRecycling as a spent fuel management option;\nImpacts of advanced nuclear energy systems on the back end of the fuel cycle;\nDisposal; and\nChallenges in an integrated approach to the back-end system (including storage\, transport\, recycling and disposal).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKEY DEADLINES\n\n4 November 2018: Submission of abstract (including Forms A and B)\n22 October 2018: Submission of grant applications (Form C)\n18 December 2018: Notification of acceptance of abstract\n25 February 2019: Submission of full paper
