This meeting includes 4
historical meeting for molten salts and ionic liquids;"8th International Conference on Molten Salt Chemistry and Technology"(Since 1983), "2nd Asian Conference on Molten Salt Chemistry andTechnology" extended from "Japan-China Bilateral Conference on Molten Salt
Chemistry and Technology" (Since 1986) and "40th Symposium on Molten Salt
Chemistry in Japan" (Since 1958), which will provide a forum to discuss the transferof these methods and techniques, developed for high temperature, as well as themore recent room-temperature melts.
Ionic liquids in general include the traditional high-temperature molten salts,
metal-molten salt systems, glass-forming systems and also the novel room
temperature melts. Several state-of-the-art applications will be presented. Several
recent examples of applications will highlight the importance of these ionic liquids invarious industries, such as batteries, nuclear energy, pyrochemical reprocessing of
nuclear fuel, synthesis, catalysis, etc. The basic concepts of the structure, dynamics,
electrochemistry, interfacial and thermodynamic properties will be detailed andrelevant experimental methods described. Such fundamental concepts are essential
for an in-depth understanding of the general physicochemical properties of these
Coulomb liquids. Experimental methods for investigating structural, dynamic,
electrochemical thermodynamic and interfacial properties will be detailed, as aretechniques for data collection and analysis. 㩷
We hope that all participants enjoy academic discussion, attractive accommodation,and hospitalities of Kobe. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for yourcontributions and advices to all participants and supporting organizations for openingof the symposium.

Cooperation with
International Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect
During 2008 Joint Symposium on Molten Salts, International
Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect will be held in Nichi-i Gakkan
at the same. This workshop is Sponsored by Atomic Energy Society ofJapan, Reprocessing and Recycle Technology Div.(RRTD) on 19-21st
October. According to the announcement of the organizer of theworkshop, the scope of the workshop is;
The unprecedented economic expansion Asia is currently experiencing is rapidly increasingenergy demand in Asia. With China representing 1/4 and India 1/5 of the world population thisincremental energy demand has and will continue to have a significant impact on the world.
Already, changes in supply and demand are having increasing impact on energy markets withthe rising cost of oil, thermal coal and natural gas. This is resulting, in part, on an increasing
reliance on nuclear power. Atomic Energy Society of Japan would like to identify and discuss theintrinsic issues of increased nuclear energy generation in China and India. The issues include anincrease in the amount of spent nuclear fuel, rising uranium prices, public acceptance of spent
fuel reprocessing or repository of high level waste, technical and political issues in proliferation
resistance, expansion of qualified human resources and their training organizations. The
purpose of the international Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect is to begin a dialogue on theseand other relevant issues with a goal to bring this forward in order to continue and deepen thediscussion of these important issues during GLOBAL 2009.

Resulting negotiation between both organizing committees, theattendees of 2008 Joint Symposium on Molten Salts can join thetechnical program of International Workshop for Asian Nuclear Prospect.
Plenary lecture presented by Dr. M. Goff is supported by IWANC, andmain session which the attendees can join will be on Room A. The
electronic version of abstract will be delivered with proceeding of 2008
Joint Symposium on Molten Salts. Please notice that the proceeding
book of IWANP and the other events will be charged.
A detail program is now announced in website;

Proceeding guideWe would like to thank that most participants with presentation havesubmitted their proceeding paper for publication of Proceeding of 2008
Joint Symposium on Molten Salts. We estimated the volume might be
too large (more than 700 pages) to bring, hold, and keep after the
symposium.
Organizing committee determined the proceeding is issued by USB
memory (2GB) and reduce the waste paper for publication. Since
more than 100 persons from overseas will go back to their own country
by airplane, CO2 emission will reduce by ca. 3 tons !
We deliver “The proceedings in USB memory” with logo of 2008 Joint
Symposium on Molten Salts. After storage into PC or other media or
print out of proceeding files, please use as you like.
Usage:-

Insert USB memory into PC USB socket (USE 2.0 or later isrecommended).
Open the file “index.html”
Choose session and open the files you need.

During symposium, you can print out in PC room (B/W printer only).
If you do not have a PC, please ask the secretariat office.

Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Co., Ltd., have opened their old "sake"brewhouse in its original form to the public as Sake Brewery
Museum. Their hope in doing so is to give visitors a feel of the
tradition of "sake" making that has been carried down through theages and to broadly and deeply convey the "heart of Japan" to the"sake" making world.
