WM2015 Conference Proceedings

On behalf of WM Symposia (WMS), it gives us great pleasure to provide you with the WM2015 Conference Proceedings. The annual Waste Management (WM) Conference is widely regarded as the premier international conference for the management of radioactive materials and related topics. WMS was founded to provide a forum for discussing and seeking cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions to the safe management and disposition of radioactive waste and radioactive materials.

WM2015, the 41st Annual Conference, attracted over 2,000 registrants from 34 countries around the world and provided significant opportunities for networking, professional growth and education - as well as business opportunities. This conference was attended by decision makers, project managers, and technical and procurement specialists representing the government and private organizations undertaking the global tasks of radioactive materials management, decommissioning and site remediation.

The technical program of this conference could not have taken place without the help of the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) volunteers. These volunteers work hard to pull together a high quality, educational and technical program.  WMS would also like to extend our most sincere thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors. Without their contributions and efforts, this conference would not be a success.

The Proceedings include many aspects of the conference such as: the Final Program, the Plenary Speakers' presentations, panel session presentations, panel summary reports, the Waste Management Today newsletters, and our lists of our attendees, sponsors and exhibitors with short descriptions of their services. Final papers that were presented at the conference are also included and may be searched by author, session, abstract number or keywords.

We hope that you will join us for the WM2016 Conference planned for March 6 – 10, 2016 in Phoenix at the Phoenix Convention Center. Further details are available at www.wmsym.org.

Sincerely,

James Fiore President, WM Symposia
