2 The Conference: ACI s 3rd Nuclear Decommissioning & Waste Management Summit will address the key issues faced by the consortia committed to nuclear decommissioning projects. This will include the establishment of working relationships and gaining contracts and beyond that excellence in operational procedures. The conference will focus on existing and potential projects across Europe for the sake of establishing new business and innovation in waste management and on-site procedures. Join us on, in London, UK to get an opportunity to discover the latest updates and to discuss your own challenges and solutions with your peers through an interactive and informative 2 day programme. Topics for Discussion: Update on the decommissioning status in Europe Regulations implications on nuclear industry Waste management Spent fuel management Operational efficiency and strategic planning Supply chain efficiency Financial arrangements for decommissioning activities Management of complex dismantling Technology developments Case studies Call For Papers If you would like to be considered as a speaker at the event for a minute presentation, please submit an abstract for consideration to: Stergios Zacharakis: szacharakis@acieu.net Speakers Include: Senior Representative Unit Nuclear Energy Technology, Nuclear Waste And Decommissioning, European Commission, DG ENERGY Gérard Laurent Decommissioning expert for EDF group, EDF Patrick J O Sullivan Decommissioning Specialist, IAEA Martin Walkingshaw Executive Director, Head Of Waste Management Services, LLW Repository Ltd Takafumi Ihara Nuclear Power Program Manager, Tokyo Electric Power Company, Incorporated (TEPCO) Tony Free Head Of Environmental Planning Project Development Directorate, EDF Energy Gareth Davies, Burges Salmon Nuclear Team & Chair NIA Decommissioning Group Ferenc Lóránd, Professional Advisory, Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority HAEA Michel Dutzer - Deputy Manager, National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (ANDRA) David Powell Vice President Europe Nuclear Power Plant Sales, GE Hitachi Peter Bachsleitner Partner, Energy, Utilities and Cleantech, PCubed And many more...
