Non-electric applications of nuclear power: Seawater desalination, hydrogen production and other industrial applications. Proceedings of an international conference

The IAEA organized the International conference on 'Non-electric Applications of Nuclear Power: Seawater Desalination, Hydrogen Production and other Industrial Applications' at Oarai, Japan on April 16-19, 2007, in cooperation with OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA) and International Desalination Association (IDA) and hosted by the Government of Japan through the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). There were one hundred and twenty six participants from twenty four countries and five international organizations and the host organization. Sixty papers were presented at the conference and six poster presentations were displayed. The programme of the conference was designed to cover the wider aspects of outlook of nuclear power and process heat applications as well as technology, safety and economics of non-electric applications. The current trends in nuclear desalination and research and development in the field of high temperature process applications including nuclear hydrogen production were particularly highlighted during the conference. This accompanying CD-ROM attached to the printed STI/PUB/1354 contains all contributory papers, HTTR workshop and poster papers
