Fourth Announcement and Call for paper SWORL YOKOHAMA SMiRT 27 2024 27th International Conference on Structural  Mechanics in Reactor Technology Next Generation Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology — Contributions for achievement of higher reactor performance PACIFICO Yokohama, Japan March 3-8, 2024 www.smirt27.com Japan Association of Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology Atomic Energy Society of Japan
The SMiRT 27 in Yokohama Japan will discuss what is “Next Generation Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology” on the bases of lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichí Nuclear power plant accident. It will be co-hosted by JASMiRT and Atomic Energy Society of Japan. Plenary lectures, special sessions, tutorials and workshops will be organized to discuss this topic in addition to the regular sessions.  The SMiRT 27 aims to bring together leaders, managers, engineers, plant operators, regulators and academia working in the field of nuclear technology to make greater contribution for achievement of higher reactor performance.  We hope that various efforts to improve world- wide nuclear safety, long-term operation in consideration of aging issues, communication between regulatory authori- ties and industries, standardization of reactor-independent codes/standards, etc. will be central issues in SMiRT 27, to establish “Next Generation Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology.” Dr. Tsuyoshi Takada Conference Chair
