The Fourteenth International Conference on Environmental Degradation of Materials in Nuclear Power Systems-Water Reactors was held in Virginia Beach, Virginia, August 23-27, 2009. The long-standing tradition of strong technical discussion in this bi-annual series was continued. The topics covered a wide range of degradation issues unique to nuclear reactor service, including BWR’s, PWR primary and secondary systems, low alloy steels, ziraloy, stress corrosion cracking, and operational experience. Special sessions on advanced energy systems issues and extended operation were also held. This iteration of the conference hosted 229 scientists and engineers from around the world. Power utilities, reactor vendors, regulatory bodies, national laboratories and universities were present from 18 different countries. Over the course of the four-day meeting a large number of stimulating presentations were made (170), including several plenary sessions and a panel discussion on extended service issues. The proceedings for this meeting include 140 papers. The organizing committee and session chairmen devoted considerable time and energy to helping plan, coordinate, and direct this conference. Their efforts and advice are greatly appreciated. The students and typists from the University of Wisconsin, University of Michigan, Penn State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory enabled the publication of the questions and answers. The American Nuclear Society provided expertise and assistance with the meeting arrangements, coordination, compilation and publication of this volume. Dave Slaninka and Ellen Leitschuh of ANS deserve special thanks for their help and patience.

The first Topical Meeting titled “Nuclear Fuels and Structural Materials for the Next Generation Nuclear Reactors” was held in June 2006, embedded in the ANS Annual Meeting in Reno,Nevada. This meeting, co-sponsored by MSTD and FED, was chaired by Lance Snead, Dave Petti, Madeline Feltus, and Todd Allen. The meeting consisted of 107 total presentations on fuels and materials for advanced systems. The papers from the meeting will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Nuclear Materials, to be issued in 2007. The next NFSM will take place in conjunction with the 2008 Annual Meeting...

Link found at: http://www.ans.org/meetings/docs/2006/nfsmngnr06-cfp.pdf Summaries are due January 6, 2006 for screening. Full-length papers will be due at the meeting and will be published in a special edition of Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM). The meeting will include invited talks. The format will be one single session with a large poster session one evening (perhaps more than one if needed). Help is needed of MSTD members to review summaries and later to review full-length papers as guest editors for JNM. Volunteers should contact Todd Allen...
