Plenary Sessions - 2015 International Congress on Advances in

“Nuclear Innovations for a Low-Carbon Future”
Concerns about climate change are increasingly influencing global energy policies in
the direction of displacing fossil fuels and promoting low-carbon energy sources.
Although the primary focus in many countries has been on renewable energy (e.g.,
solar and wind), the merits of nuclear power for large-scale carbon-free power
generation are widely recognized by communities of distinguished climate and energy
scientists. Plans to restart nuclear power reactors in Japan and the ongoing construction of more than 70 advanced light water reactors (LWRs) throughout the world,
together with the recent start of operation of 2 commercial-scale fast neutron reactors
in Russia and India, demonstrate the sustained resurgence of nuclear power and
open the way for a sizable contribution to mitigating climate change.
ICAPP 2015 will address advances in nuclear power plants in a broad sense, not
only covering technological progress in reactors and associated nuclear fuel cycles
but also extending to broader applications of nuclear power, such as cogeneration
on and hybridization on with other low-carbon power sources to displace fossil fuels
in applications beyond electricity generation on in the housing, transportation on and
industry sectors.
The conjunction of the 21st Climate Change Conference (COP21) and the 2015
International Congress on Advances in Nuclear Power Plants (ICAPP 2015), both
taking place in France in 2015, provides an excellent opportunity to review advances
in both fields and to reassess the potential of the best available nuclear technologies
to mitigate climate change in the medium term with advanced LWRs, including small
modular reactors (SMRs), and in the longer term with fast neutron reactors and other
types of Generation on IV nuclear systems.
Many thanks to the members of the program committee, who contributed to build a
consistent and attractive program for this edition.
I encourage you to participate in this event as your schedule allows. I’m looking
forward to a full and informative meeting and hope you will enjoy your stay in Nice,
the Capital of the French Riviera.

NUCLEAR FOR CLIMATE
#Nuclear4climate is a grass roots initiative which brings together the many professionals and scientists of the international nuclear community, coordinated via the
regional and national
nuclear associations and technical societies.
We acknowledge the unequivocal conclusions of the majority of climate scientists’, as
stated in the peer reviewed IPCC 5th assessment report, that human activities have
contributed to changes in the Earth’s climate.
We proudly believe that nuclear energy is a key part of the solution.
«Nuclear for Climate» is an initiative undertaken by the members of the French
Nuclear Energy Society (SFEN), the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and the European Nuclear Society (ENS). It brings together nuclear scientists from all parts of the
globe, through the representation of 60 regional and national nuclear associations.
