ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL TOPICAL MEETING ON
NUCLEAR REACTOR THERMAL HYDRAULICS
NURETH 11, October 2-6, 2005, Avignon, France
The Thermal-Hydraulics Division of the Americain Nuclear Society has constantly and consistently encouraged the organization of International Topical Meetings on Nuclear Reactor Thermal-Hydraulics (Nureth). The French Section of the American Nuclear Society is very proud to organize and announce the Eleventh Nureth Topical Meeting to be held in Avignon, France on October 2-6, 2005.
France is one of the leading countries promoting the use of nuclear energy for electricity production. The French utility, Electricite' de France owns 58 pressurized water reactors with a power ranging from 900 to 1400 MW. These reactors have been operated smoothly from the early seventies with a very high level of reliability and capacity factor. France is also known by the strength of its nuclear industry which provides industrial products for the overall nuclear fuel cycle as well as a wide selection of nuclear power plant concepts. AREVA is among the top ranking industrial groups mastering these activities on a global scale.
The Commissariat a` lfEnergie Atomique (French Atomic Energy Commission, CEA) is a national research institute with 15,000 employees, one third of them in the Direction de lfEnergie Nucle'aire (Nuclear Energy Directorate, DEN). One of the primary missions of CEA is to provide the French government and industry with technical expertise in the field of nuclear energy.
The main topics covered by the Nureth 11 meeting will be devoted to the thermal-hydraulics of existing and future nuclear power plants as foreseen by the Generation IV worldwide initiative. Normal operation and accidental situations are relevant topics of the Conference. Topics encompass modeling, experiments, instrumentation and numerical simulations related to flow and heat transfer in nuclear reactors with a special emphasis on the advances of multiphase CFD methods.
Avignon has been selected as the Nureth 11 meeting venue. Nested in the heart of Provence, it has a mild and renown climate in Fall and is located at the immediate vicinity of Marcoule and Pierrelatte CEA centers. The Conference Center of the Popesf Palace in Avignon is a unique and historical place which hosted Catholic Church Popes in the 14th century for almost a hundred years. It is today fully equipped with up-to-date media technology and has a capacity of 500 persons.
