Eighth European Conference on Euratom Research and Training in Reactor Systems, Vilnius, Lithuania
The development and safe operation of nuclear installations in Europe is of vital importance for the future of nuclear energy. Helping 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 objective of the conference is the dissemination of Euratom FP7 research results and training projects in reactor systems. It includes discussions on the evolution of EC policy in support to research and safety within the forthcoming Horizon 2020. The sessions will cover: safety of existing nuclear installations; severe accidents prevention and mitigation including emergency management; advanced nuclear systems for increased safety and sustainability, research infrastructures, education & training, cross-cutting actions.
This event will be held in parallel to EURADWASTE '13, a conference on radioactive waste management and geological disposal. Both are co-organised by the European Commission and the Ministry for Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania, under the auspices of the Lithuanian Presidency of the EU.
