Track 11 Student Program Student Paper Competition: To encourage the active participation of students in PBNC2016 by submitting high quality technical papers on the various nuclear topics. Students in this track will be expected to make a technical presentation as well as to design a poster summarizing their work to be exhibited during PBNC2016 and discussed during poster session. Registration and accommodation during the conference are free of charge for students who are selected as best paper winners (a total of 40)

11 Working Language The official language of the conference is English. The Chinese-English simultaneous interpretation will be provided only at the Opening Ceremony and Plenary Session. Publication of Paper You are invited to submit your paper to one of the 11 technical tracks according to the guideline available on the conference website: From each track, 2 to 3 best papers will be selected and recommended to be published on the journals of American Nuclear Society, Atomic Energy Society of Japan and Nuclear Techniques (Organized by Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Nuclear Society)

12 Technique Tour More detailed information, please log on 1, China Experimental Fast Reactor Visit time:april 10, 2016 website: The China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR), located in China Institute of Atomic Energy, is the first Fast Reactor built in China with 65MW thermal power and 20MW experimental generation power. Reactor core pool type structure and Sodium-Sodium-Water circuit heat removal system is applied for the first furnace, and UO2 is adopted for initial fuel. The fast reactor system have a fast neutron spectrum, with the resulting benefit of enhancing the utilization of uranium resources(utilization ratio up to 60% from 1% of PWR)through breeding and fuel cycle. And the fast reactor system can transmute the long life fission products and consume transuranics with a closed fuel cycle, thus reducing the radiotoxicity and heat load which facilitates waste disposal and geologic isolation. 2, High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor Visit time:april 10, 2016 website: The 10MW High Temperature Gas-cooled reactor-test Module (HTR-10)

13 is a graphite-moderated helium gas-cooled reactor and it is the first gas-cooled reactor in China. In the design of HTR-10, advanced concept of newly developed modular high temperature reactors is assimilated. Its design features a compact side-by-side arrangement of the reactor core and the steam generator, spherical fuel elements (6cm in diameter) with TRISO coated particles, continuous process of fuel loading and unloading, all-around computerized protection system and in-depth defense principles. A completely passive decay heat removal system and a surface cooling system are designed for HTR-10. Two reactor shutdown systems the control rod system and the small absorber ball system, which make possible the automatic shutdown of the reactor under emergency conditions, are located in the reactor side reflector
