SUMMARY:4th Nuclear Waste Management\, Decommissioning and Environmental Restoration (NWMDER)
DESCRIPTION:Objective \nThe 4thNuclear Waste Management\, Decommissioning and Environmental Restoration (NWMDER) Conference from September 8-11\, 2019.The conference will be held at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel in Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada. \nThe Nuclear Waste Management\, Decommissioning and Environmental Restoration Conference builds upon those held in 2005\, 2011and 2016\, which were highly successful\, with over 300 Canadian and international participants from many nuclear related organizations and universities at each conference.  These conferences provided opportunities for sharing and exchanging ideas\, views\, information and experience among specialists\, managers and a broad range of subject experts in the industry\, government\, community\, and other key stakeholders.  The past NWMDER conferences fostered collaborative dialogue to the overall benefit of the Canadian and International nuclear industries. \nPreliminary Program \nClick here for the Preliminary Program of Plenary Sessions & List of Technical Sessions. \nAnd click here for the Detailed Preliminary Program of Technical Sessions\, updated Sept. 3. \nCALL FOR PAPERS\n“Moving Forward Together Toward Sustainable Solutions” \nOnce again Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) is organizing the Nuclear Waste Management\, Decommissioning\, and Environmental Restoration (NWMDER) conference to provide a forum for discussion of the status and proposed future directions of technical\, regulatory\, environmental\, social\, and economic aspects of nuclear waste management\, decommissioning\, and environmental restoration for nuclearfacilities. \nCNS intends to make this conference as successful as the past NWMDER conferences\, held in 2005\, 2011 and 2016\, each with more than 300 Canadian and international participants. \nRegistration\nNote: All fees in CAN$Note: To register as a CNS member\, your membership must be in good standing for 2019)All prices include HST (#870488889 RT).
