PROSPECTUS
TITLE: Regional Workshop on Modular Design of Processing and Storage Facilities and Application of Mobile Technologies for Waste Processing.
PLACE: Yerevan, Armenia
DATE: 29 June-3 July 2009
ORGANIZERS: Armenian Nuclear Regulatory Authority
DEADLINE FOR
NOMINATIONS: 27 April 2009
TARGET
COUNTRIES: This workshop is designed for countries of Eastern and Central European operating, upgrading or wanting to put in place new waste management facilities
PARTICIPATION: The workshop is open to 24 participants.
LANGUAGE: The workshop will be held in English
PURPOSE OF
THE WORKSHOP: The workshop is organized for managers of waste facilities to obtain information on the best practices, technologies and solutions for design, construction, licensing and operation of waste facilities in the region. The special focus of the workshop will be devoted to the modular approach for processing and storage as well as on the use of mobile technologies. Workshop will also integrate approaches for alignment of development of safety case and licensing applications with choice of technical option for modular/mobile processing and storage.
PARTICIPANTS
QUALIFICATIONS: The participants should be managers either operators or designers or regulators in charge of waste processing or storage facilities, responsible for implementation of waste management practices.
NATURE OF THE
WORKSHOP: The workshop will consist of review presentations provided by invited experts, followed by on spot exercise to develop design specification for processing and storage facilities. The workshop will have appropriate time allocation for status reports of participants nominated by participating countries, panel discussions of key issues, identified as important in the frame of the workshop subject.
