The International Congress on Advances in Nuclear Power Plants (ICAPP) is cosponsored by the American Nuclear Society, the Atomic Energy Society of Japan, the Korea Nuclear Society, the French Nuclear Society, and a number of major international nuclear societies. The meeting’s annual host location cycles through the U.S., Europe, and Asia, giving it its global flair.ICAPP provides a forum for nuclear industry leaders to exchange information, present results from their work, review the state of the industry, and discuss future directions and needs for the deployment of new nuclear power plant systems.Uniting the business and technical interests of participants and exhibitors, ICAPP attracts 300+ specialists from around the world, offers more than 250 scientific/technical presentations in plenary and parallel sessions, and features additional panel and discussion sessions. The American Nuclear Society, as host for 2018, invites you to join us for this unique event.
