Nuclear power is considered as a critically important means of energy generation throughout the world, but due to high safety standards and process regulations the cost of energy generation from nuclear fuel is much higher as compared to natural gas based energy generation systems. Advanced sensors and modeling techniques can dramatically improve the nuclear reactor safety while making the design of the nuclear plants simple. The first Symposium on Advanced Sensor and Modelling Techniques for Nuclear Reactor Safety brought together over 50 scientists, academics, executives, and students from India and the United States to present and discuss research these vital areas.
