NAWG-16 — 16th Workshop of the Natural Analogue Working Group

The NAWG-16 workshop will be an opportunity to explore recent developments in the use of natural analogues (NA) in supporting safety cases (SC) for the disposal of radioactive wastes. Argumentation by use of analogy is well established in many fields including philosophy, biology, linguistics and law and most scientists are familiar with this approach and will have used it at some point in their career. If you are keen to learn more, why not come along?

Topics: radioactive waste, natural analogues, rachaeological analogues, natural systems, safety case, stakeholder communications, long-term evidence of safety, near-field studies, far-field studies, geosphere, engineered barrier systems
