Nuclear Waste: The Challenge of Interim Storage and Long Term Disposal 2010

Monday 27 - Tuesday 28 September 2010, London, UK

The number of nuclear reactors around the world is expected to rise by 30% in the next decade this equates to more than one new nuclear a month for the next 10 years ensuring nuclear waste will become an even more important issue. With the nuclear waste management industry worth billions a year it is critical that all waste is stored, packaged and eventually disposed of in a manner that is safe, efficient and acceptable to both the regulators and the public. With many countries now looking at interim storage lasting for 100 to even 160 years, successfully building and maintaining such facilities will be crucial to the successful management of your nuclear waste.

Equally important are the plans for the final disposal of all nuclear waste. There are still key challenges to be overcome before sites can become operational. The design of the repository and the packaging of the waste are both integral to a successful facility and the continued acceptance of host communities is vital for sustained site viability.

The 2nd annual conference Nuclear Waste: The Challenge of Interim Storage and Long Term Disposal has been developed with key industry experts to bring you unparalleled insight in to the whole waste management chain, from interim storage to packaging to final disposal. This conference brings together industry experts to uncover, explain and assess cutting edge technological and strategic developments in new build waste management, packaging options and final disposal solutions.
