5th IMR Symposium on Materials Sciences and Engineering 

— Materials and Reliability in Nuclear Power Plant

July 22-24, 2009 

 

Shenyang, China

 

 

Organized by:

Institute of Metal Research (IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences

 

Sponsored by:

National Natural Sciences Foundation of China (NSF-C)

Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)

China Nuclear Energy Association (CNEA)

 

About the Symposium

The 1st IMR symposium was held in Shenyang on Interfacial Materials in 2004. Since then, IMR successfully held an international symposium every year on new energy materials, advanced functional materials, high temperature corrosion respectively. This symposium will focus on the materials for nuclear power plants (NPPs). 

 

NPPs in the world have been rapidly developed since nuclear energy is clean.  With the rapid construction of nuclear power plants in China, there is more challenge on manufacturing of key materials and their behaviors in NPPs. So this symposium is timely important to discussion the role and recent development of nuclear materials and their behaviors. The symposium will invite internationally known speakers from China and abroad.
