2. Results The abbreviation of the conference, FR09, was approved by the IAC members. The participants reviewed the IAC and ISPC rosters, and were informed about the selection of the Chair (Mr Yoshiaki Oka) and Vice-Chairs (Messrs Toshikazu Takeda and Tsutomu Yanagisawa) of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) (see attachments). Before finalizing these rosters, the following issues must be resolved before 30 November 2008: a. IAC membership from the Russian Federation to be confirmed (action: Mr. A.V. Zrodnikov) b. One additional ISPC member from the Republic of Korea to be nominated (action: Mr. Moon Hee Chang1) c. The USA is nominating two additional ISPC members, viz. Mr. John Sackett (current contact information to be provided) and a person from industry (name and contact information to be provided) (action: Messrs Phillip Finck and Sal Golub) d. JAEA will finalize the LOC roster (action: Koji Sato) The IAC confirmed that the General Chair, General Co-Chair and Honorary General Chair of the FR09 Conference are Messrs Toshio Okazaki, Jacques Bouchard and Yoichi Fuji-ie, respectively. The following list of topical areas was agreed upon and will be reflected in the FR09 Conference Announcement: i. Description of new reactor concept designs and associated objectives and driving forces ii. Strategies for actinide recycle in fast reactors iii. Economics and performance iv. Transition scenarios: the path to fast reactor deployment v. Fast reactor safety: approaches, issues and requirements; special emphasis on BDBA; including licensing issues vi. Advanced fuels for fast reactors: fuel concepts, targets, high burn–up fuel, irradiation experiments, performance, manufacturing, etc vii. Structural materials: new challenges, manufacturing and performance viii. Sensors, control and instrumentation ix. In–service inspection x. Innovative fast reactor technologies: power conversion systems, simplification in plant lay–out, etc xi. Past 20 years experience with fast reactors, lessons learned and perspectives xii. New specific issues and requirements in reactor physics, basic data, thermal–hydraulics, etc xiii. Advanced simulation, modelling and validation in different areas xiv. Availability of experimental facilities xv. Human resources, infrastructures and knowledge management The underlined topical areas could be addressed in technical plenary sessions (see attached preliminary structure of the FR09 Conference). Topical areas xiv and xv could be combined into one single topical area. Conference structure The IAC worked out a proposal for the overall structure of the FR09 Conference, and made a proposal for keynote and invited speakers, consistent with that proposal. As for the Technical Plenary Sessions, the present proposal is based on a hypothesis on the number and distribution of the papers that will be submitted. This suggested structure will be transmitted to the ISPC that will finalize it after verification of the actual number of papers received under each topic. ______1 After the meeting, the IAC member from the Republic of Korea confirmed the nomination of Mr Kee-Chan Song, Director Recycled Fuel Development Division, KAERI as ISPC member (the ISPC roster attachment to this Meeting Report does include this addition)

The FR09 Conference should consist of: — An Opening Session (90 minutes) — A Plenary Session to include the “national programmes” presentations (180 minutes) — Seven (to be confirmed, see above) Technical Plenary Sessions (approximately 120 minutes each), specifically (in parenthesis proposed keynote/invited speakers, to be finalized):  New concepts and driving forces (1 keynote. France (Carbonnier))  Strategies for recycle (1 keynote Japan)  Safety (1 keynote Japan (S. Kondo))  Advanced fuels (3 invited papers (Somers+EU, Mizuno, and Pasamehmetoglu))  Structural materials (1 keynote India lead, with Germany (C. Fazio) and Japan)  Twenty years experience (4 invited papers (France, India, Japan, and Russian Federation))  Simulation (1 keynote USA) — Six (if hypothesis on Technical Plenary Sessions is confirmed and in the hypothesis of overall session number equal to the number of topics) Parallel Technical Sessions, (approximately 100 minutes each) — A Poster Session (with reserved time slot of approximately 60 minutes and ongoing during the whole week) — Two Panels (90 minutes each) — “Young Generation Event” (or “Forum”) — A Closing Plenary Session (approximately 60 minutes) — A Session in Tsuruga and MONJU technical visit About 70 oral presentations can be accommodated by this conference structure having eight (seven Technical plus one on National Programs) Plenary and six Parallel Sessions. The Opening Plenary Session will consist of — Welcome address by the host country (probably MEXT Minister, to be decided) — Welcome address by the IAEA (Director-general or Deputy Director-general, to be decided) — Address by policy maker from the host country (possibly Mr Shunsuke Kondo, Chairman of the Japan Atomic Energy Commission, to be decided) — Address by the FR09 General Chairman (Mr Toshio Okazaki, JAEA President) — Keynote talk by the FR09 General Co-chairman, Mr Jacques Bouchard As far as the keynote talk by Mr Jacques Bouchard is concerned, the IAC chair will contact him (see action list). Young Generation Event The IAC suggests holding the “Young Generation Event” (or “Forum”) on Wednesday evening. The goals of this event are to attract international participation from younger (under 35) scientists and engineers, and to introduce this younger generation to the promise and challenges of fast reactors. The IAC suggests the following approach for the implementation of this event: — Solicit papers and posters from young (under 35) engineers and scientists who are currently involved in fast reactor R&D — Establish “best young author paper award(s)” — Facilitate attendance of a select cross section of promising young experts from other scientific or nuclear engineering disciplines — Use government or industry subsidies to facilitate attendance at the FR09 Conference — Organize the event as an evening reception (lasting ~90 minutes) at the convention hall (drinks, appetizers), open to all FR09 Conference participants — Identify a “catchy” title for this evening session (example: “Fast reactors are back! Is this a new opportunity, challenge, etc for the young generation? Which are the expectations?” — Gather a predetermined panel of 6 – 8 senior representatives from government, academia, and industry, and 6 – 8 young scientists to kick-off the session with 5 minutes of remarks

introducing themselves and their areas of responsibility and engaging the interest of the younger generation in fast reactors — Have 15-30 minute Question & Answer session from younger attendees — Use balance of reception to promote informal dialog between attendees and senior representatives (networking) — Report in the Closing Plenary Session about the outcome of the “Young Generation Event” (or “Forum”) and present the “best young author paper award(s)” The Closing Plenary Session will consist of — Award(s) ceremony — Report on the “Young Generation Event” (or “Forum”) — A summary/perspective talk by the IAC Chairman, Mr Massimo Salvatores — Closure of the FR09 Conference by the host The topics of the two Panels are — Economics and performance of fast neutron systems: overall reliability of plant and systems and impact of technological improvements, etc — International initiatives: collaborative programs, harmonisation of prototypes, sharing of facilities, standardisation, etc It is intended to involve representatives from industry in the first Panel. As moderator for this Panel, the IAC proposes an expert from the Republic of Korea.2 For the second Panel, the IAC suggests a moderator from China. The Korean and Chinese IAC members will confirm aforementioned IAC suggestions. Session in Tsuruga and MONJU technical visit The IAC considers that the one full-day option (participants leaving Kyoto early in the morning and returning to the respective Kyoto hotels in the evening) was the best solution for this Session and MONJU technical visit. The IAC suggests that Messrs Harold McFarlane (INL) and Xu Mi (CIAE) give talks at the Tsuruga Session about the expectations of the international community from Monju as a R&D tool for international fast reactor collaboration. It is further suggested that two additional presentations be made by the Japanese hosts.
