This is the third in a series of three proceedings of the 20th Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC). This volume covers the topics of Power Reactor and New Buildings, Waste Management, Acquiring Medical and Biological Benefits and Student program. As one in the most important and influential conference series of nuclear science and technology, the 20th PBNC was held in Beijing and the theme of this meeting was "Nuclear: Powering the Development of the Pacific Basin and the World". It brought together outstanding nuclear scientist and technical experts, senior industry executives, senior government officials and international energy organization leaders from all across the world. The book serves as a useful reference not only for the professionals and public to know more about nuclear industry, but also for policymakers to adjust or make energy strategies.

This is the second in a series of three proceedings of the 20th Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC). This volume covers the topics of Operation and Maintenance, Supply Capability and Quality Control, Fuel Cycles, as well as New Technology and New Applications.

Can agents be intelligent without emotions? Is it possible to incorporate emotions into agents? If possible, how can we do that? Can we build high EQ (emotional quotients) agents which have better performance than rational agents? We believe that, whether for human-like or non-human-like agents, the effect of emotions on decision-making cannot be ignored, because high EQ agents can be built to have better performance in complex dynamic environments than purely rational agents. Taking into account the incompleteness of emotion theories and emotional differences among individuals, this book describes EBDI, a common architecture for emotional agents, which specifies a separate emotion mechanism within an agent. It reflects the practical reasoning process, and one can select and apply part of an emotion theory into the architecture as needed. Sample agents in Tileworld are presented and the results show that an EBDI agent can have better performance than traditional BDI agents. This book also describes how to design emotional agents (EBDI agents) in negotiation, which has been a subject of central interest in Distributed AI, economics and political science.
