We acknowledge that Blue Mountain Resort is on the Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, known collectively as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.
This conference focused on activities relevant to Canada’s nuclear industry, however as many of the technical issues involved have broader relevance and have been encountered globally, papers from outside the nuclear industry, as well as international papers, were encouraged.
