International Nuclear Youth Congress 2006

18-23 June 2006 Stockholm – Olkiluoto

The International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC) was formed in 1997 by an international group of young nuclear professionals with the belief that young generation organisations around the world could be more effective in promoting nuclear technology in individual countries if their efforts were integrated globally. There are a group of elected National Representatives that cover over 60 countries worldwide. This allows us to have personal (and local) contacts who are visible to thousands of people in many countries. This is in addition to the website that is available to all.

The first Congress was held in Bratislava, Slovakia (2000), the second in Daejeon, South Korea (2002) and the third in Toronto, Canada (2004). Around 300 young professionals from 35 countries attended the 2004 Congress and in 2006 returns to Europe.

IYNC 2006 will be held from 18 to 23 June 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden and includes a technical tour to Olkiluoto, Finland to see the first EPR under construction and the investigation site of spent fuel repository plus related underground rock characterisation facility under construction.

The technical program consists of four parallel tracks: Nuclear Science and Technology, Nuclear Waste and Decommissioning, Non-power Applications of Nuclear and Nuclear Politics and Economics. Apart from these four tracks there will be a track focusing on Young Generation and IYNC Activities world wide. Over 160 abstracts have been submitted, most of which will be presented (either as papers or posters) at IYNC 2006 this June.
