| Abstract
|
Currently there are over 400 operating nuclear power reactors in the world, 30 more are under construction to go to operation in 2007-2013, and another 8 committed for 2013-2017. It is also projected that by 2050 there will be some 1,500 reactors worldwide.
During the conference, three experts representing Westinghouse Electric (U.S.), Areva (France) and AECL (Canada) will present strengths and weaknesses of some world leading reactor designs. Questions, answers, and discussion will follow.

Mr. Gregory Hudson is Project Development Manager within the New Plants Deployment organization of Framatome-AREVA NP, Inc. He is currently responsible for detailed design planning for the U.S. applications. Master of Engineering from the University of Virginia. he has over 30 years of experience in nuclear engineering, construction and operations projects encompassing both commercial nuclear power plants and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) nuclear complex. Prior to joining AREVA NP, Mr. Hudson served in a broad range of positions in both Duke Power Company’s Nuclear Power Program and Duke Engineering & Services (DE&S) holding positions in engineering, business and project management. Mr. Hudson spent part of his Duke career in Toronto. He was President of DE&S Canada prior to joining AREVA NP.
Dr. Stefan Doerffer’s professional career spans over three decades and mostly deals with thermal hydraulics, being equally divided between shipbuilding and nuclear industries. He received M.Sc. in Marine Engineering from Gdansk University of Technology, Poland, and Ph.D. from Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery (IFFM) of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Gdansk, Poland. He worked on the nuclear reactor safety at: IFFM, the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, the University of Manchester, England, the University of Ottawa, Canada and then, for the last 17 years, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). Dr. Stefan Doerffer provides his expertise in safety and licensing of the MAPLE reactors for medical radioisotopes production. Prior to his present position, Dr. Doerffer served as manager of CANDU R&D Fuel Channel Thermal-Hydraulics Program, and also led a team of engineers working on issues associated with the development of the Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR).
