Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Remediati<strong>on</strong> and Radioactive Waste<br />
Management (ICME2010) is the thirteenth in a<br />
series of internati<strong>on</strong>al c<strong>on</strong>ferences organized by the<br />
ASME and other technical societies, and being held<br />
in Japan after an eleven year interval. ICEM was<br />
first held in H<strong>on</strong>g K<strong>on</strong>g in 1987, followed by Kyoto,<br />
Japan in 1989; Seoul, Korea, in 1991; Prague, Czech<br />
Republic, in 1993; Berlin, Germany, in 1995;<br />
Singapore in 1997; Nagoya, Japan in 1999; Bruges,<br />
Belgium in 2001 and 2007; Oxford, UK in 2003;<br />
Glasgow, Scotland in 2005; and Liverpool, UK in<br />
2009.<br />
ICEM promotes broad global exchange of<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> technologies, operati<strong>on</strong>s,<br />
management approaches, ec<strong>on</strong>omics and public<br />
policies in the critical areas of envir<strong>on</strong>mental<br />
remediati<strong>on</strong> and radioactive waste management.<br />
ICEM also provides a unique opportunity to foster<br />
cooperati<strong>on</strong> am<strong>on</strong>g specialists in mature<br />
envir<strong>on</strong>mental management programs and those<br />
involved in emerging programs. Attendees include<br />
scientists and engineers, suppliers and vendors,<br />
utilities, regulators government, and others seeking<br />
soluti<strong>on</strong> to envir<strong>on</strong>mental problems. Over 30<br />
countries are generally represented in ICEM<br />
c<strong>on</strong>ferences.<br />

c<strong>on</strong>current sessi<strong>on</strong>s in six technical tracks:<br />
� Low/Intermediate-Level Radioactive Waste<br />
(L/ILW)<br />
� Spent Fuel, Fissile Material, Transuranic and<br />
High-Level Radioactive Waste (SF/TRU/HLW)<br />
� Facility Dec<strong>on</strong>taminati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
Decommissi<strong>on</strong>ing (D&D)<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> technical program c<strong>on</strong>sists of an opening<br />
plenary sessi<strong>on</strong> and several parallel program tracks<br />
with up to six c<strong>on</strong>current sessi<strong>on</strong>s. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> sessi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
include 25 minute oral presentati<strong>on</strong>s, panels, and<br />
poster displays which are designed to enhance<br />
dialogue between presenters and participants. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
program is divided into 36 sessi<strong>on</strong>s c<strong>on</strong>ducted over<br />
three days. A listing of the specific sessi<strong>on</strong>s within<br />
each of the six technical program tracks can be<br />
found in the secti<strong>on</strong> for the technical sessi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> full registrati<strong>on</strong> fee includes meeting materials<br />
