The International Conference on Water Chemistry of Nuclear Reactor Systems focuses on the latest developments in the science and technology of water chemistry control in nuclear reactor systems.

What began in the UK in 1977 as the Bournemouth Conference Series has of late been held biennially under the organization of a host country. For 2010, that country is Canada. The Conference is a forum where utility scientists, engineers and operations people can meet their counterparts from research institutes, service organizations and universities to address the challenges of chemistry control and degradation management of their complex and costly plants for the many decades that they are expected to operate. In 2010 the focus will be on operating experience and the subsequent lessons to be learned, with supporting material on new developments and research.

The format of the Conference will be the standard four days of single-session presentations; plus Poster Sessions, which will be promoted as part of the Technical Sessions. All presentations and Proceedings will be in English.
