GLOBAL ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES IN WASTE MANAGEMENT

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 37th Annual Waste Management Conference, WM2011.

We’ve made it our mission to build a conference that equips you with the best practices from around the world and a return on investment that’s clear and measureable. Over two thousand scientists, engineers and managers attend the conference from companies and agencies around the world.

In recognition of the growing drive towards new reactor builds and the need to demonstrate that nuclear waste management is well developed, we have adopted the theme:

Global Achievements and Challenges in Waste Management.

The technical program is comprehensive with over 500 papers and 101 technical sessions and panels and of course complemented by an extensive exhibition.

There will be the opportunity for networking both in the formal activities but also in the range of informal and social events organized both by the Conference and participating companies.

WMS is proud to partner with the US NRC/US doe and the IAEA on a topical workshop, “Low-Level Waste (LLW) Perfomance Assessment, the Safety Case (PRISM) and Long-Term Monitoring”, to be presented on Thursday, March 3, 2011. This workshop is included in a Full Technical badge or available as an add-on to your registration. Please see the registration desk for more information.

The aim of the WM Board and the Program Advisory Committee is to put on a program that you find interesting, stimulating and informative. If you have ideas on how to improve the conference, please let us know.

I would like to thank the WM team for their efforts and our sponsors for their contributions that enhance what we can accomplish. Thanks also to our attendees and exhibitors who make the conference so exciting.

We are a non-profit organization with the aim of promoting education and opportunity and your participation helps us to further these objectives.

I hope you have a very profitable time.

Fred Sheil Chairman - WM Symposia Sheil Consulting, Ltd, United Kingdom

Today, it is Arizona’s Legendary Cowboy Steakhouse featuring a spectacular panoramic view of the valley lights.

“Hey good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’?”

Get ready for a cowpoke cookout served Chuckwagon style with picnic seating. You’d better come hungry cause Cookie, the chuck wagon chef, doesn’t like light eaters. Sample some tasty appetizers (Yup! they’ve got rattlesnake) and when you hear the dinner bell, treat yourself to mesquite–broiled steaks, ribs and chicken served with all the fixin’s they are famous for.

Be sure to save room for desserts, like homemade apple pie or rich fudge brownies.

“Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and “Games of Chance”

Okay, we’ve tempted your taste buds and now it’s time to make cowboys out of some of you city slickers. They’ve got the best western entertainment, from a foot stompin’ band and line dancing inside to a little poker training and games of chance outside under the Arizona stars.

Professionals will help you learn and sharpen your gambling skills with free (and worthless) WM Bucks. There are no losers at WMS!

Now if you register as a Full Technical attendee for WM2011, the Rustler’s Rooste event will be included. If you are not a Full Technical attendee, we still encourage you to come! Tickets are $85 onsite. The event includes transportation, two drink tickets and all the food, gambling and dancing you desire . . . until 9:45 PM.

Buses will pick up at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix at 6:00 PM and the event will begin with cocktails at 6:30 PM.

Buses will return guests to the conference hotels beginning at 8:30 PM. The last bus will depart Rustler’s Rooste approximately 9:45 PM. Drivers may pick up directions at the Registration Desk.

DOE/NRC Public Meeting 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM

The US DOE and the US NRC will be holding an all day joint public meeting at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix Hotel to discuss plans for revisions or updates of their respective directives or regulatory framework for management of LLW. The all-day joint meeting will be organized in two Sessions (one for each agency), followed by a joint “Panel Discussion” Session.

Session I will address DOE Order 435.1 (Radioactive Waste Management), and includes presentations by a DOE key note speaker and DOE staff. It will also include a period for public and stakeholder feedback and comments.

Session II will address the NRC’s proposal to initiate revision of 10 CFR Part 61(Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste) as discussed in the NRC SECY-10-0165. Session II will also include presentations by an NRC key note speaker and NRC staff.

The joint workshop will conclude with a joint DOE/NRC Panel Discussion to respond and explain

agencies’ positions, future plans, and specific views regarding LLW management framework. The panel will also address public and stakeholder suggestions and comments.

The public and stakeholders, as well as WM2011 participants are encouraged to take this opportunity of participating in the DOE/NRC joint meeting and discussions. Admission to the Friday joint meeting is free of charge.

Conference Proceedings The conference technical program proceedings are included with a full technical registration. Following the conclusion of the Conference, approximately June 2011, attendees will be mailed a CD-Rom of the Conference Proceedings to the address listed on their registration materials.

For additional copies or for those attendees who are not full technical registrants, Conference Proceedings may be purchased for $105 each.

POSTER SESSIONS Be sure to visit the technical posters on display throughout the day. Posters are located on the first floor with the technical sessions.

In this informal atmosphere, Poster Presenters become discussion leaders sharing their ideas and visions. Each technical track presents a poster session; see the session descriptions for more information.

The WM2011 posters will be displayed approximately 3-1/2 hours and authors are scheduled to be at the booths for one 30-minute period and one 60-minute period.

In order to honor high quality presentations at WM2011, the American Nuclear Society (ANS) presents an award for the Best Poster/Paper and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides an award for the runner–up.

Judges select the poster/paper based on technical quality and preparation of the work as described in the guidelines. Attendee forms for judging posters will also be available in the area and must be turned in one hour before the session ends. Each track selects the best poster/paper which are then displayed and re-judged on Wednesday afternoon for the Best and Second Best of the conference. The Best and Second Best in the conference for WM2011 are presented to the recipients at the next WM conference, WM2012. The "Best Poster Awards" from last year will be presented at the Honors & Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, March 1, 2011.
