Conférences - Energie nucléaire - France

French Nuclear Energy Society, SFEN, (Société Française d’Energie Nucléaire)

ATH2020 topical meeting is the fifth in a growing series organized by the ANS Thermal Hydraulics Division consisting of peer-reviewed, full-length technical papers covering recent advances in thermal hydraulics for nuclear applications. After San Diego (CA), Reno (NV) and New Orleans (LA) the last edition in Orlando (FL) in 2018 received more than 140 full-length papers. It is the first time this meeting is organized outside ANS summer or winter meetings.

Energy perspectives for the current century are dominated by the anticipated significant increase of energy needs due to the population growth and the likely economic development of emerging countries. Particularly, electricity consumption is anticipated to increase by a factor higher than two before 2050. Furthermore, the global climate change has now been proven to be partially related to the release of greenhouse gases from anthropogenic activities, including energy production. Considering that about 80% of our current primary energy comes from fossil energies, we have to face in the near-future a challenging issue: meeting the increasing energy needs while curbing the GHG emissions.

From this perspective, nuclear energy is considered as a potential contributor to the future energy portfolio to meet the energetic needs while preserving the climate but it also has to demonstrate that it can contribute safely and on a sustainable way. Its acceptance is closely associated to our capability to reduce the lifetime of the nuclear waste, to manage them safely and to propose options for a better use of the natural resources. Therefore, for its sixth edition and in the continuation of the series, the organisers propose to focus the ATALANTE Conference on the nuclear chemistry issues for all the fuel cycles and waste management options by giving the floor the international nuclear chemistry community.
