The 4th Annual International Conference on Sustainable Development through Nuclear Research and Education

Context

Nuclear energy gains more and more in the energy share all around the world. Many countries from Europe and abroad have now ambitious nuclear programs. A large number of nuclear power plants is foreseen to be commissioned in the following years.

Coherent policies, supporting financial schemes, high level of cooperation and competitiveness in nuclear research and industry should synergic act in order to insure the sustainable development of nuclear energy.

Organized under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, Nuclear 2011 intends to bring together a large representation of nuclear research and industry, academia and energy policy in order to address the major challenges facing nuclear energy today from the perspective of the future: safety, security in energy supply, waste management, radioprotection and environmental protection, knowledge transfer.

The previous three editions brought together participants from all over the world involved or interested in the nuclear energy research: Belgium, Canada, China, Check Republic, Egypt, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Libya, Spain, South Africa, USA and UK. Representatives of well known research centres, universities, governmental organizations and nuclear industry provided an actual picture of the nuclear research today.
