Astm D 746

[Ceola Roefaro]

The 21st International Symposium on Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry will be held April 14, 2025 through April 17, 2025. The symposium is organized by ASTM Committee B10 on Reactive and Refractory Metals and Alloys, and will be held at the Renaissance Aix-en-Provence Hotel, Aix-en-Provence, France.

The purpose of the symposium is to provide a forum for exchanging new information on the fabrication, testing, development, and characterization of both traditional and new zirconium-based materials used in the nuclear industry, including materials performance during normal, transient, and accident conditions as well as materials behavior during intermediate and long-term storage conditions. Of particular interest are studies that focus on identifying and understanding the mechanisms and behaviors of zirconium-based materials.

Both oral and poster presentations are planned. The John Schemel Award for the best paper of the symposium will be selected from the submitted papers. The best poster will also be recognized at the symposium.

For those interested in presenting a paper or a poster at the symposium, authors must submit a 250 to 300-word preliminary abstract no later than June 15, 2024. To ensure your abstract was received into the ASTM database, please email symp...@astm.org and let us know that you have submitted an abstract.

A discounted symposium registration fee is being offered for those who stay at the symposium hotel. In order to qualify for the discounted fee, you must first make your hotel room reservation at the Fairmont Chteau Laurier by using the following link: Hotel Reservations. After you have made your sleeping room reservation, please register for the symposium and choose the appropriate registration fee.

ASTM Committee B10 invites you to attend their future standards development meetings. There is no fee to attend these meetings, and membership in ASTM International is not required to attend. For more information about the committee and its future meetings, please visit the Committee B10 Homepage.
