EMAS 2006 - 7th EMAS Regional Workshop on Electron Probe Microanalysis Today – Practical Aspects (Conference)

The scientific contents of this Regional Workshop is basically an educational short course on electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). At first, it will deal with the fundamentals of electron microprobe analysis. Afterwards, the workshop theme will change to microbeam analysis applications in the nuclear industry.

Mar 14-15, 2006

Organized by:
3rd European Workshop of Clay Geosciences - Characterization of Solid-Water Interface Reactions of Metals and Actinides on Clays and Clay Minerals (Workshop)

The 3rd European Workshop of Clay Geosciences (ACTINET workshop), entitled ”Characterization of Solid-Water Interface Reactions of Metals and Actinides on Clays and Clay Minerals” will focus on improving our understanding of water/ solid interactions. These reactions are of widespread interest because they are fundamental to a large number of geochemical processes.

Mar 13-16, 2006

FISA 2006 (Conference)

The scope of the present FISA 2006 conference is quite broad: Besides political/industrial discussions about the challenges of the year 2010, it will encompass European research in nuclear plant life management for existing reactors, severe accident management, assessment of future nuclear fission systems, partitioning and transmutation systems, and nuclear education and training.

Mar 7-10, 2006

Supported by:
Workshop on Actinide Speciation using XAFS (Workshop)

The workshop is aimed at training participants to plan, perform, and evaluate effective XAFS experiments. The course-work includes theoretical aspects but concentrates on acquiring practical abilities.

Mar 7-12, 2006

Supported by:
Very Heavy Metals 2006 (Conference)

The "Very Heavy Metals 2006" conference unites theoreticians and experimentalists around the theme of heavy metals that possess very specific properties (e.g. important relativistic effects, correlation effects, etc).

Dec 11-14, 2005

ENC 2005 (Conference)

The European Nuclear Conference 2005 (ENC 2005) will be a highlight in the world nuclear scientific and technical community for the year 2005.

Nov 16-18, 2005

Supported by:
Short course with tutorial on aqueous - solid solution systems involving actinides (thermodynamic and experimental aspects) (Course)

The short course, co-sponsored by the ACTINET Network of Excellence, will focus on thermodynamic and experimental aspects of solid solution formation in aquatic systems. This subject is gaining importance in radioactive waste repository performance assessment, since many actinides and fission products can be incorporated in secondary phases formed in the near- and far field of nuclear waste repositories. Therefore, a sound understanding of solid solution concepts needs to be established in the nuclear waste geochemistry community.

Oct 24-25, 2005

Organized by:
Theoretical User Lab: Experiment / Theory Workshop (Workshop)

One of the major objectives of the Theoretical User Lab (ThUL) within ACTINET is to promote the interaction between theoreticians and experimentalists.

This two-day workshop will gather an equal number of theoreticians and experimentalists. It will consist of short presentations and a poster session which will give the opportunity to get a pedagogical overview of the ongoing research, in order to encourage future collaborations.

Oct 9-13, 2005

Global 2005 (Conference)

The GLOBAL series has successfully provided a global forum for discussions about the future nuclear energy systems with emphasis on the advancement of the nuclear fuel cycle technologies. Based on this traditional principle of GLOBAL conference, GLOBAL 2005 will cover a wide range of subjects related to the advancement of nuclear technologies, providing up-to-date information.

Sep 25, 2005

Supported by:
Workshop on solid-state NMR of nuclear related materials, towards radioactive MASNMR (Workshop)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with interests in glasses, ceramics and molten salts (so-called nuclear related materials) using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and those with experience of implementing NMR under radioactive conditions.
