Embedded International Topical Meeting  2002 ANS
Annual Meeting June 9-13, 2002 The Diplomat
Hotel Hollywood, Florida, USA
CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstract Deadline January 15, 2002 Online
Submission www.ans.org/ICAPP

• About the Meeting
• This international meeting (congress) will bring
  together all the international members of the
  nuclear industry involved in the operation,
  development, building, regulation and research
  related to advanced Nuclear Power Plants. The
  program is expected to cover lessons learned from
  operating plants operation and maintenance,
  safety, structures, materials, technical
  specifications, human factors, system design and
  reliability. The program will cover the full
  spectrum of Nuclear Power Plant issues from Early
  Deployment of Plants to future designs and
  advanced systems.
• The technical program will consist of invited
  plenary and panel sessions and in-depth and
  focused technical sessions. The technical
  sessions will be organized along specific areas
  of technical interest to enable experts in that
  field to have meaningful interactions and cross
  fertilization of ideas.
• This congress will have full-length technical
  papers, which will be reviewed and published on a
  CDROM, available at the meeting. Papers of
  archival quality will be recommended for
  publication in special issues of Nuclear Science
  Engineering and Nuclear Technology. All authors
  will be expected to present their papers in
  English at the congress.
• Online Submission of Abstracts
• Authors should submit a one-page 400 word
  abstract (text only) with name, affiliation,
  address, phone, fax and e-mail information on
  line at www.ans.org/ICAPP or send e-mail
  attachments to icapp_at_ans.org by January 15, 2002.
  Please indicate the intended topical area.
• Instructions for full-length papers (8-10 pages)
  will be posted on the web along with all updated
  information about this meeting.
• Co-Sponsored by the Atomic Energy Society of
  Japan
