| Publisher Description: The International Conference on Research Reactors: Safe Management and Effective Utilization was organized by the IAEA and held in Vienna on 16-20 November 2015. Research reactor organizations need to address challenges such as: the management of ageing of facilities and staff; the more effective and efficient utilization of the facilities to justify operation and maintenance costs; the need to enhance regulatory effectiveness and to address the relevant lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident; the security of fuel supply and the management of spent fuel; the need for increased vigilance to prevent malicious acts; and the strain of shrinking resources, both financial and human, while fulfilling an expanding role in support of nuclear science and technology development. This publication provides a summary of the conference, the major findings and conclusions of the sessions, and the opening and closing addresses. The accompanying CD-ROM includes the individual technical papers and presentations. |
