2008 pes General meeting

July 20-24, 2008

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, usa

Nuclear Power I

 

This session will introduce the IEEE/PES Nuclear Power Engineering Committee that has been responsible for the creation and maintenance of the IEEE standards foundational to the industry for the past 40 years.  Changes to reactor licensing practices in the US, an essential element in the renewal of US nuclear deployment, will be presented.  Also, the latest evolutionary designs of the Boiling Water Reactor and CANDU technologies will be discussed.

2008 IEEE/PES General Meeting

Nuclear Power Super Sessions

Recognized as environmentally neutral, nuclear power is experiencing renewed interest in addressing the expected growth in electric power demand of the 21^st century.  This interest has driven significant changes in the industry over the past 20 years that have redefined both the technologies and the methods of deployment of nuclear power generating stations.
