FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) is pleased to announce
Heat and Mass Transfer in Nuclear Safety Applications:Severe accident, Environment contamination and Waste storage
HMTNS - 1625-28 October 2016, Antibes - Juan les Pins (France)
For further information, please see: http://www.ichmt.org/hmtns-16
OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
In the post-Fukushima context, as well as in the context of global discussion of the future energy resources, the civil nuclear energy is the subject of close evaluations in which safety plays a major role. Indeed, the public pressure about safety and environment issues is stronger than ever. And yet, significant progress has been made on the understanding of severe accident conditions and mitigation, the outcome of large-scale environmental contamination and the problem of nuclear waste disposal.
The main objective of the symposium is to bring together actors involved in nuclear safety issues to promote exchanges between researchers from complementary backgrounds. State-of-the-art concepts and results will be presented with a perspective on nuclear safety applications.
Accident prevention and management issues raise numerous challenges involving complex scientific questions. The proposed symposium will be clearly on the scientific edge with topics
on multi-physics and multiscale aspects, high thermal and mechanical constraints, inverse methods, etc.
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM OF TECHNICAL SESSIONS
Session 1: Severe accidents In-vessel corium/debris coolability (hydrogen production, debris bed coolability, in-
vessel melt retention) Ex-vessel corium interactions and coolability (corium-concrete interaction, fuel-
coolant interaction, steam explosion) Containment behaviour (Hydrogen risk, mitigation, ...)
Session 2: Environmental impact Atmospheric dispersion Water dispersion (river, sea, ocean) Underground dispersion Soil contamination Inverse modelling
Session 3: Waste storage Spent fuel pools (wet storage) Transport and storage casks Long-term storage (dry storage, fractured media, transport properties of tight rocks)
For each session, the following items should be discussed: Evaluation of the current physical understanding and the current capability to formulate it
in usable mathematical models; Experimental data available and scaling issues; Identification of the appropriate level of modelling details, Identification of suitable
modelling techniques; Evaluation of existing numerical and development methods, Evaluation of the benefits of
advanced numerical methods, Validation with experimental data.
ORGANIZATION OF THE MEETING
Three technical sessions will be organised. Each session will consist in technical presentations followed by a general discussion leading to, as far as possible, conclusions and recommendations. The presentations will focus on experiments and modelling rather than code or project descriptions.
Chairmen: F. Fichot (IRSN, France) and M. Quintard (IMFT, France)

PRESENTATIONS / PUBLICATIONS
The Symposium will have both stand-up presentations of contributed papers and poster presentations.
Contributed papers must clearly state the purpose, the findings and the originality of their contribution. Acceptance for oral presentations will be based on the review of extended abstracts. Accepted papers will be published by Begell House, Inc., in a proceedings volume and will be available in the form of flash memory disks to the participants at the registration.
After the conference, authors of contributed papers will have the opportunity to submit an improved/enhanced version of their text, to be considered for publication in a journal after going through a new review process.
The Symposium will also include poster sessions to allow the researchers to discuss their most recent works in a relaxed atmosphere. Selection for the poster session will be based on one- page abstracts only. No further text is required for the posters.
All authors are expected to send their abstracts and contributed papers in camera-ready format (in pdf and as a MS-Word document), electronically. The guidelines for preparing camera-ready papers can be found on the Web pages of the Symposium, http://www.ichmt.org/hmtns-16.
