NAWG (Natural Analogue Working Group, chair Dr Russell Alexander), in association with Prof Kevin Taylor (University of Manchester, UK) and Prof Simon Norris (Nuclear Waste Services and University of Manchester, UK) and Dr Heini Reijonen (Geological Survey of Finland), is pleased to announce that the 18th NAWG workshop will be held in Manchester, UK, on 9-11th June, 2026.
The NAWG-18 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 about how we employ this approach in radioactive waste disposal, why not come along?
More details on the programme coming up shortly!
