As the tradition goes, the International Symposium Fontevraud 11 will 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.

This conference mainly addresses LWRs operating experience from the materials point of view in fields as diverse as surveillance programs, corrosion or fatigue investigations and studies, wear, corrosion and aging management.

Presentations will be organized around key technical issues or systems and components :

Pressure Vessel Components | Pressure Vessel Internals | Stainless Steel & Nickel-based Alloys Areas | Piping, Pumps, Valves | Steam Generators | Steam-Water Systems | Turbine, Alternator | Fuel, Control Rod Assembly | Civil Engineering | Non-metallic Materials and Coatings | FAC Flow Accelerated Corrosion

For the 11th edition of Fontevraud conference, the program committee will particularly welcome papers incorporating Artificial Intelligence tools in the symposium's theme.
