12. KAIST International Forum on Safe Nuclear Power Plant (http://nuclear
KAIST International Forum on Safe Nuclear Power Plant ( (Click on No. 20))
April 9-10, 2012 at KAIST
Topics
1) Design requirements for future nuclear power plants based on lessons from the Fukushima accident;
2) How do we go about implementing these requirements to future (or even current) nuclear power plants, and;
3) What is “Safe nuclear power plant of the future?”;
4) Role of non-conventional nuclear reactors in the future, and;
5) How is the safety concept addressed in non-conventional nuclear systems (e.g., SMR, SFR).
6) Panel discussions on ‘Future of nuclear power plant safety’
