2011 International Meeting on Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors

Oct. 23-27, 2011 - Santiago, Chile

The U.S. Department of Energy / National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Global Threat Reduction in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency will host the “RERTR 2011 International Meeting on Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors.” The meeting is being organized by Argonne National Laboratory, Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission (CCHEN) and Idaho National Laboratory and will be held in Santiago, Chile from October 23-27, 2011. This will be the 33rd annual meeting in a series on the same general subject regarding conversion of reactors within the Global Threat Reduction Initiative. For more information visit the RERTR-2011 website.

The Nuclear Engineering (NE) Division is one of the divisions within the Energy Engineering and Systems Analysis Directorate of Argonne National Laboratory. Our mission is to advance the design and operation of nuclear energy systems and to apply our nuclear energy-related expertise to current and emerging programs of national and international significance.

The NE Division participates in key DOE Nuclear Energy programs such as the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative, the Generation IV Initiative, and the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative. We also have major roles in national security and non-proliferation programs conducted by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and other agencies.

Division personnel additionally contribute to improving the operation of existing nuclear energy systems and to resolving issues related to their performance and safety. We have a key role in advancing major Laboratory initiatives in such diverse areas as transportation, hydrogen generation and computational science. Finally, we contribute engineering expertise to the design, operation and decommissioning of major facilities at Argonne and elsewhere.
