Panel Reporter: Jim Gilley

The

focus of this panel session will be to provide attendees with an

up-to-date analysis of market conditions and policy forms, necessary

modifications to wrap the financial and insurance protection around

the project contractual and operational risks and a discussion on

project and facility bonding. The risks assumed by companies

working in this business sector are unlike those faced by any other

industry. A keen understanding of risk transfer solutions and

possible contract negotiations is vital to all companies working in

this business sector. The following topics will be covered in

this session:

Overview

of the Current Insurance Status of the Insurance and Surety Bond

Market

An

Understanding of the Underwriting Process – “From Rejection to

Acceptance”

Professional

& Contractors Pollution Legal Liability

Site

Pollution Legal Liability

Contract

Surety – Bid, Performance and Payment Bonds

Financial

Assurance for Radiological Waste Processing

Contract

Rules of Engagement for Insurance and Bonds

“Decisions

Involve Risks”

Panelists

will be recognized leaders having a technical understanding of the

business sector and many years of experience in the development of

corporate risk management insurance and bonding programs.

Lead Organizer & Panel Reporter: Mark Lewis

This

panel will focus on US waste processors and provides the opportunity

for representatives of US fixed-based processing facilities to update

managers of radioactive waste at nuclear power plants, on service and

facility changes and improvements. Fixed-based processing

facilities provide a variety of waste volume reduction, treatment,

and disposal services to help nuclear power waste generators to cost

effectively and efficiently disposition low-level radioactive waste

within commercially regulated guidelines. Processors are

continuously changing and improving on services, which necessitate

periodic updates to stay abreast.

contractors to obtain goods and services from small and disadvantaged

businesses. Award fee is based partially on the contractor’s

success in achieving specific goals for subcontracts with small and

disadvantaged businesses. Goods and services being considered

for subcontracting include the following: decontamination and

decommissioning services, remediation services, transportation and

disposal of radioactive waste, health physics equipment and services,

emergency response planning and training, lab services, R&D

products, waste treatment services, maintenance services, A/E

services and professional consulting.

Proposed

Panelists will include Contracting Officers from the major DOE

Contractors.  It complements Session 56 which focuses on

contracting activity directly with the DOE. This

session is also open to all WM2011 Exhibitors.

DOE

Lead Organizer: Larry Camper

Panel Reporter: Boby Abu-Eid

This

panel focuses on the large quantities of depleted uranium in the US

which will need to be disposed in the next several years. The US NRC

has decided to pursue Rulemaking to require a site specific

performance assessment for disposal of unique waste streams including

large quantities of depleted uranium.  The NRC Rulemaking will

also identify the technical parameters to be evaluated within the

performance assessment.  The panel will discuss this complex

topic including suggestions for conducting the performance

assessment.
