Confidence in Strategy - Challenge in Technique
11-12 June 2007
Jurys Great Russell Street Hotel, London
"Nuclear will not be developed if there is not a credible, satisfactory answer to nuclear waste"
— Claude Mandil, Executive Director, International Energy Agency (IEA) March 2007
CONFERENCE SCOPE:
Intelligent Radioactive Waste Management maintains three vital facets of nuclear power: the management of existing liabilities, keeping the nuclear option viable and the preservation of the environment.
Confidence in strategy and technique forms the framework of the entire process. To enable success at every level, regulation, technology and management must all continue to incorporate cooperation and the sharing of practical experience and future plans.
Full and informed stakeholder involvement should form the basis of strategy for both Low & Intermediate Level Waste (LILW) and High-Level Waste (HLW), where protection of the person and the environment form the key objectives. Economics and sustainability must also be used to address the large volumes of Very Low-Level Waste (VLLW) in a clear, confident and transparent manner.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This event will be of particular interest to representatives from the global nuclear industry, national nuclear regulatory organisations and representatives from government departments of environment, foreign affairs health protection, trade and local government. It will also appeal strongly to environmental remediation professionals, consultants, lawyers and academics.
