Call for Papers
The Universities of Cambridge and Birmingham are delighted to announce the 30th anniversary of the Physics of Reactors (PHYSOR) conference, to be held between the 29th March - 2nd April 2020 in Cambridge, UK. For nuclear energy to be competitive in the future energy mix it must be scalable; both to the needs of the grid and economic climate, as well as in simulation and design. This inspires the theme of PHYSOR2020 - 'Transition to a scalable nuclear future'.
