Polymers in nuclear applications 2021

Polymers in nuclear applications is the meeting place on research relating to polymers in different kinds of nuclear applications. The target group for the conference is polymer experts, and persons working with maintenance and design in the nuclear sector. Results from ongoing R&D projects were presented, and speakers from nuclear power plants, suppliers, consultants and researchers also contributed with presentations.
