This event will be a great opportunity for researchers, experts and practitioners worldwide to share their current works and concerns and also to reflect together about the future challenges of nuclear criticality safety. IRSN is fully mobilized to ensure the success of ICNC 2019. I express my sincere thanks to my French and international colleagues who already dedicated time and efforts in helping organize this unique and important event, and to all supporting organizations worldwide for making it possible. From ICNC 2019 Chair Stéphane EVO As every edition, the 11th International Conference on Nuclear Criticality safety (ICNC), organized by IRSN under the auspices of the Nuclear Energy Agency of OECD, is a major rendez-vous for professionals and students with activities related to nuclear criticality safety. Twenty years after, France has the privilege of hosting this conference once again. Even if experience in nuclear criticality safety is important today, the scientific community is still facing new challenges and is improving its skills continuously in order to achieve the highest degree of safety for practitioners dealing with fissile material. The city of Paris offers a wide variety of activities; we hope you will have the opportunity to extend your stay and make the ICNC 2019 an unforgettable experience. 1 Organization LOCAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE (ITC) GENERAL CHAIR Stéphane EVO, Chair of the Organizing Committee, IRSN, France, Stéphane EVO, IRSN TRACK LEADERS ASSISTANT GENERAL CHAIRS Track 1.
