INREC’10 is the first of a planned series of biennial meetings focusing on the practical aspects of carbon-free energy forms (nuclear and renewables). The meeting covers the synergetic integration of nuclear engineering with electrical power production, coupling to existing power grids and the design of smart grid systems, to intelligent instrumentation and control, and monitoring of processes relevant to radiation safety and nuclear safeguards. Research work addressing other carbon-free energy forms are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: 

 

Nuclear Reactor Technology

Nuclear power in developing countries

 Instrumentation & control

 Financing

 Reactor design, simulation & modeling

 Fuel management

 Accidents, risk management and scenario assessment

 Training and education

Prospective participants of INREC’10 are invited to submit their full papers using our TrackChair online submission system at: http://inrec10.trackchair.com. The authors should follow the guidelines posted on the conference website: http://inrec10.inrec-conf.org/default.aspx?id=submission.        

 

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the proceedings of the INREC’10 conference. Further publication of select papers presented at the conference will be considered in one or more of reputable energy journals; Taylor & Francis have already approved a special issue of their International Journal of Sustainable Energy to publish select conference papers following a second round of peer review based on extended new version of the work; a similar arrangement was made with the Nuclear Engineering and Design Journal by Elsevier. The organizing committee welcomes proposals for special sessions and tutorials/workshops to be held in conjunction with INREC’10. Please send your proposals by email to: inrec10-conf@illinois.edu. Proposals should, also, be Cc'ed to secretariate@inrec-conf.org.

A poster session will also be organized to report latest research/project findings. Abstracts of presented posters will be compiled in a separate booklet. There will also be a best poster competition.
