The Premier International RK&M (Records, Knowledge and Memory) focus meeting/workshop was held concurrently with WM2012 at the Hyatt. This workshop was organized to gather ideas and views on the permanent marker system for geologic repositories of nuclear waste and focus on identifying a uniform message that should be told to future generations. The hope was to get as many interested professionals, educators, and young professionals as possible together to discuss in some detail two items: 1) What internationally agreed to "message" should be included in all permanent markers programs, and 2) How/Where should these messages be archived and transmitted. Many of the members of the Tuesday Panel Session 34 were in attendance.
