FISA 2009: Seventh European Commission conference on Euratom research and training in reactor systems

June 22-24, 2009

Prague, Czech Republic

The development and safe operation of nuclear installations in Europe is of vital importance for the future of nuclear energy. Helping to ensure the safe generation of nuclear power has always been one of the top priorities of the Euratom framework programme (FP) research effort.

The main objectives of the conference are the dissemination of Euratom FP results and the cross-fertilisation of various disciplines, together with the creation of new science and technology partnerships for follow-up actions (including training). In this respect, FISA 2009 will endeavour to present the achievements of the research conducted under the specific programmes for nuclear research and training activities of FP6 and FP7 in the following areas:

• Safety and competitiveness of existing and future nuclear installations
• Advanced nuclear systems for increased sustainability
• Advanced systems for non-electrical uses of nuclear energy
• Partitioning and transmutation
• Education and training
• Cross-cutting aspects (e.g. infrastructures)
