Call for Papers: International Joint Meeting
SNM XXXII Annual Congress / 2021 LAS/ANS Symposium
"Nuclear Power Expansion: License Renewal, Life Extension, and New Units"
The Mexican Nuclear Society (SNM) and the Latin-American Section of the American Nuclear Society(LAS/ANS) invite researchers, professionals, and students to submit original papers to their International JointMeeting, to be held at Cancun, Mexico, from July 4 to 7, 2021. In addition to the technical sessions, it has beenorganized for this important event a series of keynote conferences, roundtable and discussion panels on thespecial topic of nuclear power plant license renewal and life extension, and addition of new units.
On the meeting official website, http://congresossnm.org.mx, you will find updated information aboutregistration, venue, and important deadlines. Additionally, instructions for authors can be found on the website,and the meeting official full paper template can be downloaded too.
