The American Nuclear Society (ANS) is pleased to host the 14th Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC) and Technology Exhibition under the auspices of the Pacific Nuclear Council. The conference will be held September 30-October 5, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, CA. This International meeting is a broad-based meeting focused on areas of nuclear energy, engineering and science, and policy issues that accompany nuclear energy programs throughout the Pacific Rim. The meeting is sponsored by the Pacific Nuclear Council and ANS.The Pacific Basin Nuclear Conference (PBNC) was initiated originally as regional cooperative fora to advance peaceful uses of nuclear energy in the Pacific Basin region. The first meeting was held in 1976 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. They have been held about every two years, under the joint sponsorship of the Pacific Nuclear Council (PNC) and a sponsoring PNC Member Society. The conferences have played a vital role in providing a forum for discussion and information relating to both research and development and to the implementation of nuclear energy technology in the Pacific Basin.
