Dear Colleague,
The Reactor Physics Division of the American Nuclear Society (ANS)
invites you and your organization to participate in the PHYSOR-2004 Topical
Meeting to be held April 25-29, 2004, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Chicago,
Illinois. The meeting is being hosted by the Chicago Section of the ANS and
co-sponsored by many international organizations.
The theme of the meeting is
The Physics of Fuel Cycles and Advanced Nuclear Systems: Global Developments.
The technical program will cover 21 separate topics, and 5 plenary sessions with
internationally known speakers, including Nobel Laureate Burton Richter, are
also planned. We are pleased to provide the agenda for the technical
sessions and other special events in the
final
program. Times for presentations by each author
are included in the program. A printable
meeting brochure (in Adobe Acrobat format) is available
here.
In addition to the technical program, we want to let you know about three special
events which will take place on the days before and after the meeting.

The reception will be held on Sunday evening, from 6 to 9 PM, and will include access to the Grand Staircase, the Gunsaulus Hall, and viewing of the Chagall Windows and the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists exhibits. The Art Institute is located at 111 S. Michigan Avenue, approximately 1/2 mile south of the Hyatt Regency. Walking to the Art Institute is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the Hyatt.
