Nuclear engineering concerns the design, development, testing, operation and maintenance of nuclear reactor systems and components, fusion, nuclear fuels technology and radioactive waste.

The International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE). May 11-15, 2008, Orlando, Florida. The premier global conference for addressing the needs of the nuclear industry. Speakers and participants at ICONE are the leaders and experts from the nuclear industry. In addition to hundreds of technical presentations, ICONE will host a Nuclear Industry Forum. The Forum will address key technical challenges and business issues facing the nuclear industry, through panel discussions with leaders from utilities, vendors and government.

Tenth NRC/ASME Symposium on Valves, Pumps, and Inservice Testing. July 14-16, 2008, Washington DC. Sponsored jointly by The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Symposium is conducted every two years to provide for the exchange of information on technical, programmatic, and regulatory issues associated with the testing of valves and pumps used in nuclear power plants. The audience will have an opportunity to discuss ideas and ask questions during the technical sessions.
