SUMMARY:The Saga of UK Radioactive Waste Disposal
DESCRIPTION:The Western Regional Group is pleased to welcome Dr. Ian Crossland nuclear specialist with more than 50 years’ experience of the nuclear industry. For the past thirty years he has specialised in radioactive waste management with a particular interest in disposal. He has first-hand experience of the roller-coaster ride produced by the many swings of UK policy in this area. \n \nThe UK has a small mountain of radioactive waste that is stored at many locations around the country. This is the legacy of almost 100 years’ exploitation of nuclear technology in research\, medicine\, weapons and electricity production. Some of this waste will remain dangerous for millennia. Even if we were to stop\nproducing it\, the legacy of past years would still need to be safely managed to prevent its being a danger to the public. But what to do? Do we continue to store it and\, by so doing\, pass on the burden of care to future generations? Or do we seek a permanent solution and thereby honour both intergenerational equity and the\n“polluter pays” maxim? \nThe talk outlines the fundamental science that underpins geological disposal\, the development\, over the past half-century\, of UK radioactive waste management policy\, the several failed attempts to implement geological disposal and the current campaign to find and implement a permanent solution. \nRegistration\nThis talk will be given via Zoom\, hosted by The Geological Society\, Western Regional Group. \n[button link="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkcOyorzsiHtAHKdp3XflmhGktBznYEMTT" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:Managing the risks and consequences of a large polluting accident
DESCRIPTION:The J-value framework (J for Judgement) is an integrated methodology that generates objective advice on how much should be spent to avert human harm and environmental loss. It estimates the maximum it is reasonable to spend on a safety measure or system by balancing the safety expenditure against the increase life expectancy it brings about. \nAt its core is the concept of the life-quality index (LQI)\, which is an increasing function of both life expectancy and annual utility\, with risk-aversion used to convert monetary income to utility – the satisfaction that the money brings. The maximum reasonable expenditure will have been reached when the increase in the LQI due to the greater life expectancy the safety measure confers is just matched by the decrease in life quality associated with the fall in income incurred by paying for it. \nThe presentations will challenge the conventional thinking of how to manage the consequences of both large nuclear accidents and large polluting accidents and will demonstrate how the J-value can aid decision-making by Governments\, Regulatory Bodies and other organisations concerned with post-accident response. \n12.00 – 12.20 - Presentation by Professor Philip Thomas: Professor of Risk Management\, University of Bristol \n12.20 – 12.40 - Presentation by Dr Ian Waddington: Senior Software Engineer \n12.40 – 13.00 - Discussion forum (Q&A) chaired by Mr Nick Shaw: Chair of Board of Trustees\, Hazards Forum \nRegistration\nYou can register for this free webinar via the ICE website. \n[button link="https://www.ice.org.uk/events/managing-risk-of-large-polluting-accident-online" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]

SUMMARY:Game Changers Lunchtime Technology webinar
DESCRIPTION:On the 2nd June from 12 - 1pm\, Game Changers are starting Lunchtime Technology talks on Zoom. Each session they will feature 2 innovative projects that have been funded through the Game Changers programme.  \nThe opening session will feature:  \n\n\nDetecting hydrogen at range – Dr David Stothard\, Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics\nThe generation of hydrogen through corrosion or radiolysis is a common phenomenon encountered across Sellafield and can be thought of as a concern or a useful mechanism to monitor the condition of an asset.  In either case\, it is highly advantageous to detect over extended ranges\, without needing to directly deploy instruments in difficult to reach areas. \nIn this talk\, David will present a standalone remote hydrogen detection system which is capable of measuring hydrogen down to a concentration of 0.05%\, over distances between 0.1 to 100m.  Recently tested in a successful active deployment\, Fraunhofer’s system uses only light to make measurements meaning that hydrogen can be detected without placing operators or instruments in sensitive or hazardous areas. \n\n\n\n\nExtending the life of battery powered sensors – Professor Bernard Stark\, Sensor Driven\nTraditional sensors constantly use battery power\, regularly sleeping\, waking and measuring when often there is nothing of interest to measure. This typically limits battery lifetime to a few years. \nSensor Driven have developed unique microchips that can extend battery lifetime to decades using minuscule amounts of energy directly from transducer signals\, or from leakage currents\, to wake up the measuring electronics and take a reading. \nIn this talk\, Bernard will show how this new technology can be used to monitor important information relating to movement\, moisture\, temperature\, noise and more\, and present results from recent radiation testing.  Considerably extended battery life may have significant potential for Sellafield where sensors need to be used in difficult to reach areas and challenging environments. \n\n\nHow to access\n[button link="https://www.gamechangers.technology/lunchtime-technology-talks/" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nThe webinar will be via Zoom - Meeting ID: 835 5574 7161.

SUMMARY:IOP Nuclear Industry Group webinar: Space Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Nuclear power - in the form of radioisotope power systems (RPSs) - has been used to power many of the most significant space missions during the last 50 years. For almost all the missions to date the radioisotope has been Plutonium 238. \nHowever Plutonium 238 is very expensive and difficult to make and the worldwide availability is so limited that missions using it can only be considered occasionally. There is an alternative\, Americium 241. Whilst it is a waste to the nuclear industry\, Americium 241 is also a heat producing radioisotope that has similar properties to the Plutonium 238 used in RPSs. \nSpeaker \nTim Tinsley currently holds the role of Account Director for Special Nuclear Material at the National Nuclear Laboratory. In addition he manages the NNL’s portfolio of work related to space\, including power and propulsion\, and radioisotopes. \nRegistration\nPlease register for this talk via the Institute of Physics website. \n[button link="https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1516/home" bg_color="#806ab7" border="#806ab7" window="yes"]Event page[/button]\nContact: \n\nIoP Conferences – Claire.Garland@iop.org\, 07881 923 142\nIoP Nuclear Industry Group – Dale.Mcqueen@nda.gov.uk\n\n\nInstitute of Physics Nuclear Industry Group Webinar Series\nIn collaboration with: \n \n \n \nFurther talks in this series will be held on: \n\nTuesday 26th May\, 13:00 – Tom Wallace-Smith\, University of Bristol (Diamond Batteries)\nTuesday 2nd June\, 13:00 – Robbie Mackenzie\, University of Bristol (Gamma Voltaics)
