   The United Kingdom has a number of gas-cooled graphite-moderated reactors that are either: nearing the end of their generating life; seeking life extension or in the second period of their design lives. As the graphite components of the reactor cores may not be replaced it is important to ensure that effective ageing management strategies are in place to secure safe and reliable operation to the end of their generating life.

     The conference is to be held over three days and should be suitable for those interested in ageing management of graphite components in nuclear reactors. The designers of new reactor systems may also find the conference of interest as it should be a useful guide to the kind of ageing management issues faced by reactor licensees.
