Join the Nuclear Institute and The International Society of Multiphysics on 18 October in Manchester for the 2nd annual conference.
Explore the latest advances in mathematical modelling and simulation behaviour of nuclear materials, reactor safety and environmental effects as well as simulation advancements and deployment of techniques into nuclear science and engineering.
You will hear from leading authorities at the forefront of advancing innovation in Nuclear Materials, Reactor Safety and Environmental Modelling.
Who should attend?
Essential for science and nuclear engineering professionals, academic researchers and suppliers seeking to enhance their awareness and knowledge of advancing modelling and simulation techniques. Connect with peers to share, debate current advancements and market solutions.
The Programme
Registration and networking will be held from 9am - 9.30am, followed by a welcome from the Chair, Professor Moji Moatamedi of The Multiphysics Society.
Opening keynote sessions:
Dr. Paul Howarth, Managing Director of the National Nuclear Laboratory
The importance and direction of modelling and simulation direction in our global Nuclear Industry.
Dr. Akira Yamaguchi, Professor in the University of Tokyo
Nuclear safety and the role of simulation and risk analyses
The three principle topics that will follow in the panel sessions are:
Panel Session One: Nuclear Materials Modelling
