Objectives: To discuss the recent developments and future challenges in various areas of nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics and safety especially on • The advancement and dissemination of

knowledge of thermal hydraulics and safety as they pertain to the steady state design, transient performance and accident behaviour of nuclear power plants.

• Dissemination of the state-of-the-art

thermal hydraulics and safety information on current and future generation of nuclear reactors.

• Promote effective interchange of thermal

hydraulics and safety information among the many professional groups and organizations participating in the development and application of nuclear reactor technology.

Climate: There are three seasons in Mumbai namely the humid season, the monsoon season and the spring season. The spring season from November to February is characterised by slight humidity and warm to cool weather and is generally very pleasant. Accommodation: Mumbai has several types of hotels ranging from budget one to five star. We would be helping in arranging the accommodation for participants on request.
