SELECTION, NOTIFICATION & RESPONSIBILITIES
Selection Process
The NUCLEAR POWER International 2010 Program Committee is composed of executives and engineers from all sectors of the nuclear power industry. This committee will carefully review all abstracts submitted by the March 19, 2010, deadline with the ultimate goal of forming a highly educational and informative conference that addresses topical and timely nuclear power generation industry issues.

All abstracts will be evaluated on the strength of the abstract submitted, including content matter, market trend and relevance of the material. The program committee will give preference to abstracts that include utility representation. Consultants and manufacturers may submit abstracts of a non-commercial nature, but all blatant commercial sales pitches will not be accepted for presentation.

Notification
All primary contacts will be notified in writing no later than June 11, 2010 as to whether or not their proposed NUCLEAR POWER International abstract has been selected.

Primary Contact Responsibilities
The primary contact will be responsible for meeting all deadlines and requirements regarding the paper presentation or panel participation. The primary contact must agree to submit a final manuscript to be included in the conference proceedings by August 27, 2010. This contact also needs to notify conference management of any changes, additions or corrections in author, co-author or panelist names, paper titles or availability to present the submitted paper at the appointed date and time. Unless otherwise noted on the abstract, the presenter will be considered the primary contact.

Speaker Registration
One presenter per paper accepted or up to five panelists per panel session will receive complimentary ‘Full Delegate’ conference registration which includes entrance to the conference and exhibit hall, delegate lunches, exhibit hall reception and one copy of the conference proceedings on CD-ROM. All travel and hotel arrangements are the sole responsibility of the speaker. Co-presenters are encouraged to attend NUCLEAR POWER International, and we will gladly include their names in the conference program.
