Nuclear chemistry for sustainable fuel cycle

The ATALANTE Conferences provide an international forum for presentations and discussions on advances for future fuel cycles and waste management.

Nuclear energy remains worldwide a sustainable way to answer the international increase in energy needs without increasing the green-house gases emissions. Its societal 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 resource. This will be achieved by optimizing the current and future industrial processes through both engineering studies and high-quality basic research. It is therefore of a primary importance to increase our fundamental knowledge in nuclear chemistry in order to build the future of nuclear energy on reliable and scientifically-founded results, and therefore meet the needs of the future fuel cycles in terms of fabrication and performance of fuels, reprocessing and waste management.

Therefore, in the continuity of the three former editions, the fourth ATALANTE Conference will cover all the strategic and scientific fields of the nuclear fuel cycles and waste management scenario. It will specifically focus on all the nuclear chemistry issues by giving the floor to the international nuclear chemistry community through around 150 oral contributions plus a poster session.

CONFERENCE INFORMATIONS

The next ATALANTE 2012 Conference will take place in Montpellier, France, 2-7 September 2012, following previous conferences in Avignon (2000), Nimes (2004) and Montpellier (2008). Organised by the French Alternative Energy and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), these conferences provides an international forum for presentations and discussions on advances for future fuel cycles and waste management.

Conference format

The conference will be organised in plenary, technical and poster sessions.
Technical sessions will include invited and contributed talks (18 technical sessions in 3 parallel sessions). Contributed talks will be limited to 20 minutes including discussion.

Call for abstracts

Oral and poster presentations are invited on subjects and issues that cover almost all the fields of the nuclear chemistry related to the nuclear fuel cycles.

• Actinides and fission products chemistry
• Fuel cycle head-end chemistry
• Separation chemistry *
• Actinides material chemistry
• Waste conditioning and long-term evolution
• Geological repository nuclear chemistry
• Environmental nuclear chemistry
• Safeguards and analytical developments

* the separation chemistry session will be organised as the Second ACSEPT International Workshop. ACSEPT is a European Collaborative Project funded by the FP7-EURATOM Fission Program.

Proceedings

150 abstracts will be selected by the Program Committee for full paper submission. These full papers will be published in a Procedia Chemistry dedicated issue (Elsevier) both online and as a book, well referenced in databases. These proceedings will be published by the end of December 2012.

Full papers can only be accepted and published when at least one of the authors is registered to attend the conference.
