OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
This conference is designed to provide an inter-phase, wherein the policy makers, fund providers, users, suppliers,
experts of technology and researchers together deliberate on various issues concerning the technical and executional aspects of
different nuclear energy management schemes. It would help
not only to formulate strategies but also to identify problem areas for further research & development.
This Conference is a timely opportunity for an exchange of views and sharing of ideas on the infrastructure issues that need to
be addressed to ensure international confidence in the peaceful application of nuclear energy.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
I. Strategic Planning for Introducing Nuclear Technology in the GCC Countries
Geopolitics of energy resources
Nuclear industrial strategies, ecological prosperity and sustainability
- Ecological and environmental impacts of nuclear energy
- Ecological economics applied to nuclear energy
- Globalization of nuclear research and development
- Nuclear knowledge management
- Nuclear Risks Management
- Nuclear Quality assurance
Nuclear technology and global ethics
- Non proliferation
- Nuclear Risk management
- Transfers of technology
- International nuclear technology transfer
- Legal, regulatory and safety frameworks
- Nuclear security and safeguards
Public Attitudes and Public Acceptance
Economics of Nuclear Energy
II. Nuclear Desalination
Technological advances achieved in recent years mean that, alongside conventional techniques which in any case cannot
alone satisfy this demand, nuclear energy is now viable for seawater desalination and/or wastewater recycling. With nuclear energy, used in mixed mode -
power generation/freshwater production – there is a technology that can economically meet the challenge of the planet's drinking water supply.
- Hydrology and Water Resources
- Energy needs and resources, options and planning considerations
- Integrated Water Resource Management
- Desalination Technologies
III. Other Peaceful Applications of Nuclear Energy - Radioisotopes Applications
- Production of Electricity
- Advances in Radio-isotopes. Application in Oil and Gaz Industries.
- High Temperature Applications
IV. Nuclear Research Reactors
V.Radiation Protection in GCC Countries
