Announcement and Call for Papers

The partners of the European Project "High Performance Light Water Reactor Phase 2" (HPLWR Phase 2) supported by the Steering Committee of Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactor research of the Generation IV International Forum have the pleasure to announce the 4th International Symposium on Supercritical Water Cooled Reactors.
The objectives of the Symposium are to enable discussions and exchange of results of design and technology for Supercritical Water-Cooled Reactors, to foster the world-wide research activities and collaborations, to improve the contact between industry (utilities, vendors etc.) and research organisations, and to provide an information platform for political, scientific and industrial stakeholders, as well as for the media and public.
