03 - Global Partnership: Spent Fuel Management from the User's Perspective
|
|
This panel will focus on the proposed Global Partnership promoted by some policyholders between nuclear fuel supply nations and user nations. Although supply nations and their industries would be anxious to sell reactors and fuel services, their commitment to close the fuel cycle (i.e., permanently take back fuel and high level waste) remains unclear. The panel will explore fuel "take back" and waste disposal from the perspective of current and prospective user nations. Given the existing legacy of spent nuclear fuel dispersed throughout the world, what assurances would user states require in order to "sign up" to a Global Partnership? Invited panelists include: Claes Lindberg, President, SKB International Consultants AB (Sweden); Professor Shih-Hai Li, National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan); Dr. Abel J. González, Senior Advisor, Nuclear Regulatory Authority (Argentina); and Mr. Sylvain Saint-Pierre, Director for Environment and Radiological Protection, World Nuclear Association (UK) and Enrique Biurrun, Head, International Co-operation Department, DBE Technology (Germany).
