The 13th International Conference on Environmental ... - Events

A common requirement in all geological disposal programmes
is efficiently and rigorously managing increasing large and
complex fluxes of information. Emphasis will be on suggesting
practical applications and further improvements of advanced
KM tools that have been developed by JAEA, distinguishing
between programme-specific constraints and more generic areas,
which could be a focus for future collaborative projects.

Session Co-Chairs: Koji Okamoto, University of Tokyo
(Japan) and Claudio Pescatore, OECD/NEA
In this panel, international lessons learned from past D&D
activities will be discussed to optimize future decommissioning
activities. Each panelist will talk about some of topics below.
Discussion will be focused on two or three topics. Later in the
panel, a recent TV report in Japan will be introduced to discuss
mass media issue, too.
a. Decommissioning Project Management
b. Decommissioning Techniques
c. Waste Disposal
d. Building and Site Remediation
