Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for presentations and opening of registration for the WNA Annual Symposium 2013.

We are inviting applications from those wishing to give presentations at the Symposium. The topics we are particularly looking to include are:

• The Nuclear Supply Chain - in particular quality assurance and localisation
• The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
• Public Acceptance and Communication
• Financing
• Energy Policy and Nuclear Power
• Education and Training

We welcome presentations on these and other topics from industry experts and external specialists. We particularly encourage proposals from professionals in emerging nuclear countries and from younger specialists.

For the 5th year, the Fem’Energia Award will feature young women and women who promote gender development in their commitment for the nuclear sector. Women in Nuclear (WiN) Europe and WiN France and EDF are convinced that the nuclear jobs are often wrongly mistaken as “men’s job”. The nuclear field would benefit by welcoming more women in its sector. By pointing up remarkable women since 2009, the Fem’Energia Award promote the place of women in the nuclear field by showing the ones who have scientific, technical and nuclear technology posts. Thus, its goal is to attract young women and consolidate their choice of working in nuclear.
