The SAFESPUR Forum holds at least four workshops a year, which are free to SAFESPUR members only. CIRIA recommends most workshop events up to 4 hours towards CPD requirements with the ICE, CIOB RICS, CIBSE & IstructE.
SD:SPUR is hosting an event entitled “Nuclear decommissioning and the waste hierarchy: Inside and outside the fence” in May 2011, which will focus on the disposal or reuse options for low level radioactive waste. We aim to attract a range of local authorities, site licence companies, community representatives, regulators, academics, NGOs and numerous other groups to gauge and collate collective opinions as well as the reasons behind them. The issue of low level radioactive waste is a core concern in the decommissioning process and one that SLCs are finding innnovative approaches to.
An interesting example is some work done at the Hunterston A site in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Magnox North, the SLC for the site, has undertaken a simple appraisal of options for management of a previously authorised disposal of Very Low Level Waste that had been a cause of local concern.
