RRFM 2006 - The Programme

10th International Topical Meeting on Research Reactor Fuel Management (RRFM)

THE RRFM2006 Conference PROGRAMME

Please note that the RRFM programme has been prolonged for half a day by adding a half-day session on Wednesday morning 3 May. The RRFM conference will now end after lunch on 3 May. The post-conference technical visits will take place on Wednesday afternoon 3 May and on Thursday 4 May all day.

Also, a specialised, parallel session has been added to the programme: “Innovative methods in research reactor analysis”.

The customary conference dinner on Sunday 30 April will be replaced by a cocktail (“walking dinner”). Indeed such a formula will allow participants to move around and will increase the networking opportunities, which is especially important on the first occasion to meet fellow-delegates.

Programme format

The RRFM programme focuses on key areas of development and current concerns, such as operational aspects and improvements of the physical safety of research reactor fuel.

The programme consists of invited papers in key areas as well as oral and poster contributions from research reactor professionals.

The programme is divided into five sessions:

  • Session 1: International topics

  • Session 2: Fuel development, qualification, fabrication and licensing

  • Session 3: Spent fuel management, back-end options and transportation

  • Session 4: Reactor operation, fuel safety and core conversion

  • Session 5: Innovative methods in research reactor analysis

Please note that sessions 4 and 5 will run in parallel.

The formal, plenary conference programme will be complimented by visits to three local nuclear facilities on 3 and 4 May 2006.
