Nordic Nuclear and Radiation Risk Estimates - Advances and Uncertainties

Joint NKS-R and NKS-B Seminar, Finlandshuset, Stockholm, 15-16 January 2019

(2^nd announcement)

NKS proudly announces a new joint NKS-R and NKS-B seminar, which is scheduled to start on the 15^th of January at 13:00 and end at 15:30 on the 16^th of January 2019. 

The seminar will examine the current state of Nordic development in risk estimation, both in relation to nuclear power production and in relation to radiation exposure in different other contexts, and particularly discuss recent advances, uncertainties, ideas for improvement and potential future NKS activities.

Invited key speakers:

* Claire Cousins, Chair of ICRP

* Britt-Marie Drottz-Sjöberg, NTNU

* Kristina Gillin, LRC

* Anneli Hällgren, SSM

* Deborah Oughton, NMBU

- and a large number of invited speakers who will present a string of recent NKS activities and discuss the results in view of current or future requirements.

Topics include the newest findings in relation to nuclear power plant risk processes and accident risks to the population. Further, there will be a special session on decommissioning and associated challenges – issues that attract great interest at the moment, also beyond the Nordic region. In addition a number of other topics will be on the agenda.

In the longer perspective, ideas and thoughts for future work and follow up from, e.g., industries, authorities, expert communities and NKS should be the outcome of the seminar.

We cordially invite you to come and take part in the discussions.

To register for this seminar, please go to the main NKS web page www.nks.org. 

There is no registration fee.

More detailed information will follow in a later 3^rd announcement.
