SUMMARY:Coming Soon: CNS Western Branch Webinar with Christopher Rees
DESCRIPTION:Reminder! This Wednesday: CNS Western Branch WebinarCNS Western Branch invites you to participate in the following virtual presentation:Title: The Evolution of Safety Analysis (Cases) – Enhancing Risk Mitigation in the Nuclear IndustryWhen: Wednesday\, February 21st at 12:00pm – 1:00pm ETSpeaker: Christopher Rees\, Principal Consultant for Nuclear Safety at Risktec SolutionsWhere: VirtualSummary: This presentation delves into the history and role of safety analysis (cases) in the Canadian nuclear industry. It explores the origin and evolution of safety cases\, and their significance in ensuring robust risk mitigation\, setting operational constraints and limits\, for nuclear sites. We highlight the importance of safety cases for not simply ensuring regulatory compliance\, but also the highest standard of risk mitigation and being a truly live document rather than being hidden away in a draw. The audience will see examples of worldwide safety cases\, gain knowledge on industry best practice as well as potential directions and evolution of safety cases in the future.Registration: Registration is free but required; we welcome CNS members\, students and interested members of the broader community.Register Now!
