Conferences, meetings and engagement The CNE sustains strong engagement with the nuclear and wider scientific community on a national and international scale. Below are a few notable examples of how our researchers are communicating their science, influencing views, and engaging constructively with other organisations. IAEA General Conference Prof Robin Grimes led the UK delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference in Vienna: the first time that an academic has led the delegation. With the Conference held in September 2014, the delegation from the UK included experts from DECC, ONR and 15 UK companies from the UK nuclear Industry. IAEA General Conference: Prof Robin Grimes led the UK delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference in Vienna: the first time that an academic has led the delegation. Japan-UK Nuclear Research Collaboration Symposium and ABWR Seminar On the 10th and 11th September 2015 a two day event was hosted by the Embassy of Japan in London. This was organised to foster co-operation between researchers in Japan and the UK and to help introduce the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor planned for deployment at Wylfa. To this end, the first day showcased nuclear research where Anglo-Japanese collaboration is already bearing fruit being highlighted. Members of the Centre were at the fore with presentations from Profs Bill Lee, Robin Grimes and Chris Pain describing the benefits that our strong Japanese ties have brought. The second day was a seminar on the ABWR reactor system. This was co-organised by the Centre and provided a comprehensive description of Hitachi’s reactor design, providing in-depth technical descriptions of many details from its in-built safety systems to fuel-management strategies. The two days were a great success Centre for Nuclear Engineering Annual Report 2014-2016 82
