An NEA workshop on safe, efficient and cost-effective decommissioning will be held on 6-10 September 2004 in Rome, Italy. The workshop will examine large decommissioning projects from a variety of cross-cutting perspectives, including their development, safety and regulation. Specific sessions will address radiological protection and radioactive waste management aspects. The overall objectives of the workshop are to:
Participation in the workshop is by invitation only and will include regulators, implementers and waste receiving organisations as well as other stakeholders from affected communities and the press. The workshop is being held in co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the European Commission and will be hosted by Società Gestione Impianti Nucleari (SOGIN) and the Italian Agency for Environment Protection and for Technical Services (APAT). More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/decom/index.html.
During a brainstorming meeting held on 7-9 June 2004 in Paris, France, members of the NEA Committee on Radiation Protection and Publich Health (CRPPH) identified, as broadly as possible, future radiological protection challenges. Participants at the meeting agreed that any such challenges must be viewed in the context of sustainable development and evolving social approaches to risk governance. These include the need for open and pluralistic stakeholder involvement in decision-making processes and supportive policy and regulatory frameworks. As a result of the meeting, a short summary document has been prepared that will serve, along with the results of the CRPPH Topical Session held in March 2004, as input into the work of the Expert Group on the CRPPH Collective Opinion (EGCO). The EGCO will hold its first meeting in September 2004, during which it will begin work on a reprt on future radiological protection challenges for the CRPPH. This report is due to be published in 2006. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/rp/egco.html.
The NEA Working Party on International Nuclear Data Evaluation Cooperation (WPEC) held its annual meeting on 25-28 May 2004 in Aix-en-Provence, France. The meeting participants reviewed the status of the major evaluated nuclear data libraries and the related nuclear data measurement activities. Several proposals for new co-operative efforts to solve common problems were presented and special emphasis was given to the provision of uncertainty information in data libraries. More information about the WPEC and its activities is available at www.oecd-nea.org/science/wpec/.
The NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) held its annual meeting on 9-11 June 2004 in Paris, France. The committee discussed the renewal of the mandates of three of its working parties. The mandate of the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) was prolonged for another three years. The mandates and the names of the working parties on the Physics of Plutonium Fuels and Innovative Fuel Cycles (WPPR) and Scientific Issues in Partitioning and Transmutation (WPPT) were completely revised. The names of the new working parties are:
The NSC also reviewed the status of other ongoing activities and held two in-depth discussions on shielding and dosimetry for accelerators and the prospects for light water reactors to reduce minor actinide inventories. A full list of the committee's activities is available at www.oecd-nea.org/science/.
