This panel focused on young professionals and covered views on radioactive waste management from young persons’ perspectives from all around the world. An informal roundtable-style format enabled the future leaders of our industry to share ideas and experiences and develop contacts within their peer group on a truly international level. By selecting the roundtable format, the topic was interactive and stimulating and had a valuable discussion among the participants and the audience. The panel was led by members of the younger generation who actively encouraged participation from all those attending.

Panelists included: Rosa Elmetti (Ramirez), US DOE-EM; Brian Ikeda, University of Ontario Institute of Technology (Canada); and Chris Greenlees, UK-YGN, Sellafield (United Kingdom).
