Program Presentations No. 45 – Future of Nuclear Power Worldwide: Safety, Health and Environment (2009)

The role of nuclear power as a major resource in meeting the projected growth of electric power requirements in the United States and worldwide during the 21st century is a subject of great contemporary interest. The goal of the 2009 NCRP Annual Meeting will be to provide a forum for an in-depth discussion of issues related to the safety, health and environmental protection aspects of new nuclear power reactor systems and fuel production and processing strategies. The meeting will be an international conference with participation by representatives of many nations, scientific organizations, nuclear industries, and governmental agencies engaged in the development and regulatory control of advanced reactor systems and fuel concepts.
