Welcome to the 12th Int'l Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems-Water Reactors

TMS (The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society) is dedicated to the advancement of scientific and engineering knowledge for materials-centered technologies. This international professional engineer’s society is proud to sponsor the 12th International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems-Water Reactors. The meeting will be held August 14–18, 2005 at Snowbird Resort Conference Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Environmentally induced materials problems cause a significant portion of nuclear power plant outage time and are of great economic and safety concern both for operating light water reactors that continue to age and for the next-generation systems that are currently being designed. The purpose of this conference is to foster the exchange of ideas about such problems and their remedies in nuclear power plants using water coolant.

This meeting promises to be a highly beneficial forum where new insights into materials, methods, and techniques will be shared and gained by everyone.

Meeting Sponsors include TMS and the following societies:

American Nuclear Society

NACE International

Meeting Co-sponsors include the following societies:

• The Japan Institute of Metals (JIM)
• Japan Society of Corrosion Engineering
• The Society of Materials Science, Japan
