COBISS.SI-ID: 2151015Nuclear Corrosion Summer School 2015 was jointly organized by the Laboratory for Metals, Corrosion and Anticorrosion protection, Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and University of Manchester (UK). ZAG also managed the entire local organization of the event. Summer school was attended by 24 attendees from 11 different countries including USA, Australia and S. Korea. The summer school was primarily intended for people from nuclear authorities, industry and research organisations who are in charge of nuclear power plant safety and safe nuclear waste storage & disposal. Twelve internationally renowned lecturers covered all necessary topics, starting with fundamental electrochemistry, to provide a self-consistent understanding of nuclear corrosion issues. The main topics were: Electrochemistry and corrosion, Overview on corrosion in the nuclear cycle, Corrosion in light water reactor plants (incl. monitoring and mitigation aspects), Corrosion in nuclear waste disposals, Corrosion in Gen IV systems, Case studies and ageing management and Advanced technologies to characterize corrosion. Accommodation, meals and social program were included in the NuCoSS-15 fee in order to keep the group closed and to facilitate also the informal exchange of information.
