16 Jan (NucNet): Headline speakers at a decommissioning conference in Manchester, England, in May 2015 will include Rebecca Weston, head of business and programme integration at Sellafield, and Mark Rouse, managing director of Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), organiser Nuclear Energy Insider (NEI) said.
NEI said Ms Watson and Mr Rouse are head of two of the biggest decommissioning projects. DSRL said recently it would be extending its closure plan by five years to accommodate the UK government’s new approach to fuel storage, as well as new security requirements.
Other speakers include EDF’s decommissioning expert, Gerard Laurent, who will provide updates on the latest developments at the Chooz A site, and Darius Janulevičius, director-general at Lithuania’s Ignalina nuclear power station.
The 6th Annual Nuclear Decommissioning Conference Europe will take place on 5 and 6 May 2015 at the Radisson Blu Manchester Airport. For more information: www.nuclearenergyinsider.com/decom
