Thank you to all participants for contributions to DigiDecom2019. We look forward to DigiDecom2020!
In preparation for DigiDecom2020, we would like to ask you to inform us about any major Conference/Workshop scheduled for May 2020 or early June 2020. The 4th annual DigiDecom© is foreseen to be held in Halden and we have already started to arrange a site visit at the Halden Reactor.
It is also foreseen that representatives of the SHARE project (StakeHolder-based Analysis of REsearch for Decommissioning under H2020-NFRP-2018-5 Coordination and Support Action) will join the workshop.
DigiDecom2019
A growing shortage of skilled nuclear decommissioning specialists is foreseen in the upcoming decades, due to the rapidly increasing demand and low supply (resulting from social and political trends). The workshop will bring together a multidisciplinary group representing the professional community working on implementation and oversight of decommissioning for discussing opportunities and lessons learned from innovative methods for knowledge management, training and education in nuclear decommissioning.
