Place: Virginia Beach, United States

Description: Nuclear energy is a critical component to ensuring continued improvement in living standard worldwide while mitigating the global carbon burden. Safe and efficient operation of nuclear plants is a necessity, and materials technology is the foundation upon which nuclear technology succeeds. We are at an amazing time in the history of nuclear power where first generation plants are extending their life to 60 or even 80 years, a new generation of plants are about to be built, and a new generation of workers takes the reins from the pioneers of the industry. The 14th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems will focus on the material science technology and the material science professionals making this transition possible.
