The International Conference on Exotic Nuclei and Atomic Masses, ENAM98, organized by Cary Davids from Argonne National Laboratory and Brad Sherrill from MSU-NSCL, took place from June 23 to June 27, 1998 in Bellaire, a very nice place in North Michigan. This meeting followed the traditions established by ENAM95 in Arles, France and the precursor series of conferences,“Nuclei Far From Stability” and “Atomic Masses and Fundamental Constants.” It attracted 257 participants from 23 countries from America, Asia, and Europe. As a first general comment, a tremendous wealth of new results was presented, both in theory and experiment, since the previous ENAM95. Many new radioactive beam facilities are either projected or constructed which will open fantastic perspectives. The complementarity in methods, highenergy or intermediate-energy heavyion accelerators and ISOL-type facilities developed in order to attack a physics question or to overcome a delicate experimental problem has proven to be a great richness for understanding of the structure of nuclei far from stability.One of the highlights of ENAM98 is the wealth of new experimental mass values obtained with a very high precision by means of two dedicated methods: the ISOL-TRAP leading to a precision of 0.1 ppm on long chains of isotopes and the ESR storage ring used to separate, store and cool the fragments from heavy-ion reactions leading to a determination of masses with a precision of 6mlm= Operating the ESR in a second isochronous way allows to measure also masses of very short-lived nuclei like in the case of exotic Ni isotopes and to perform half-life determinations for stored and cooled nuclei. The influence of atomic charge states on the beta decay half-lives has also been studied. Direct mass measurements using single-path time of flight techniques even less precise have put some light on the behaviour of shell closure in the vicinity of N= 28 for Si to
