The "VOLGA" conferences, hosted in odd-numbered years by the
Department of Theoretical and Experimental Reactor Physics of the
Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (MEPhI), are some of the most
prestigious technical meetings held in Russia. Traditionally, these
conferences present the opportunity for reactor physicists from
around the world to gather at MEPhI's holiday camp on the banks of
the Volga river (near Tver) to exchange ideas and explore
innovative concepts related to nuclear power development. In 1997,
NATO became involved in the "VOLGA" meetings for the first time by
co-sponsoring "VOLGA97" as an advanced research workshop. This
workshop broke with tradition a bit in that the venue was moved
from MEPhI's holiday camp to a location nearer Moscow. The workshop
program was effectively organized in order to cover a broad range
of topics relating to the theme of the meeting. Generally, the
papers concerned safety related questions associated with utilizing
both weapons-grade and reactor-grade plutonium in the nuclear fuel
cycle, including facility requirements, licensing issues,
proliferation risks, and a variety of advanced concepts for
alternative fuel cycles. The program contained a total of
ninety-nine papers presented in five days of sessions."
