FONTEVRAUD 11

The International Symposium Fontevraud 11 is be dedicated to the « Contribution of Materials Investigations and Operating Experience to LWRs' Safety, Performance and Reliability ». This conference is devoted to promote exchanges regarding the feedback provided by materials analyses and investigations for the improvement on the operation and safety of light water nuclear reactors. The topics usually involved in this conference include all experiences gained by operators and research entities in the analysis of field-experienced failures, wear or degradation, detection of defects, components control and any materials research investigation connected to field failures. In this perspective, the Fontevraud Conference is a strong opportunity for operators and researchers to share detailed gained experience provided in the framework of their respective failures investigations programs.
