Call for Papers

About ICONEThe International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE) is the premier global conference
held by the contribution of numerous professionals from companies, governments, academias andtechnical societies. The focus of ICONE is on the technical state-of-the-art and the current status ofnuclear power around the world. Through the ICONE student program, the conference also fosters thedevelopment of future nuclear professionals.
The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) and Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS) are jointly organizing the 27th International Conferenceon Nuclear Engineering (ICONE27) in 2019 at Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan, a follow-up to the successful
meetings held in Tokyo (1991), San Francisco (1993), Kyoto (1995), New Orleans (1996), Nice (1997),
