CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - abstract submission deadline 14 October 2011

The Progress in Nuclear Energy and Education Conference ( www.progressnuclearenergy.com ) - Learning from the past, preparing for the future - provides a forum for nuclear scientists to discuss the cutting edge science and engineering aspects of nuclear energy together with increasingly more important safety, policy, resource and educational requirements of the industry.

The main areas of interest for this conference are advanced and evolutionary reactor designs, the safety of such plants, policy, engineering and resources, and educational challenges such as the shortfall of experience and skills in the sector.
