Abstract

The NuMat organizing committee wishes to announce the fifth meeting will be held at Motif Seattle, WA, USA from 14 – 18 October 2018. The fifth meeting follows our most successful NuMat, held in Montpellier in 2016, attracting nearly 500 delegates. The nuclear materials conference, created in association with The Journal of Nuclear Materials, and organized in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, serves as an umbrella for international meetings on nuclear materials science related to fission and fusion reactors and the overall nuclear fuel cycle. NuMat 2018 will combine eight topic tracks in five parallel sessions, covering nuclear fuels, structural materials, molten salts and materials for waste management. There will be ten international keynote speakers, including the recipients of the Robert Cahn Award and the Journal of Nuclear Materials best paper award.
