The ANA2009 Conference was held in Sydney on 2 Oct 2009: click here. for the conference program. The ANA is very grateful to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) for its sponsorship of the conference, the speakers for their informative and well prepared presentations and the audience for its interest and involvement all of whom made for a very successful conference. ANA2009 was the eighth in the series of biennial national conferences hosted by ANA since 1995.
The ANA made a submission to the Senate Select Committee on 21 July 2009. The submission makes the case that
nuclear power is a proven, economic and mature technology for the generation of base-load electricity
with minimal emission of greenhouse gases and that having nuclear power in Australia would increase
energy security and help Australia meet its greenhouse gas emission targets. The ANA submission is on the Committee web site, click

The ANA was invited to attend the public hearing of the Committee on Thursday 12 Nov 2009. Dr John Harries (ANA President), Dr Clarence Hardy (ANA Secretary) and Dr Don Higson (ANA Commitee Member) appeared as witnesses and answered questions from members of the Committee.
The ANA has renewed its agreement for
cooperation with the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) to develop friendly
exchanges and cooperation between the two societies and promote the development
of nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes.
