15th Annual WOMEN IN NUCLEAR CANADA CONFERENCE Hosted by: September 26-28, 2018 Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon 1 THANK YOU TO OUR CONFERENCE SPONSORS! 1 A Message from the President of Women in Nuclear Canada Heather Kleb It is an exciting time in the nuclear industry, as we make progress towards the refurbishment of Canada’s nuclear reactors and explore innovations in small modular reactor design. It is also a time that is ripe with opportunities for the thousands of women and young people who are pursuing careers in the industry. Women in Nuclear Canada (WiN-Canada) is continuing to showcase these women and encourage young people to pursue one of the many interesting, challenging careers that the industry offers. I am proud to be part of such a passionate organization, one that has grown from just 12 founding members in 2004, to over 2,000 strong today, and I am pleased that many of our members have chosen to join us at our 15th Annual Conference. It is my pleasure to welcome some 200 delegates from over 45 companies and organizations. WiN-Canada is comprised of six chapters across Canada and I welcome all of you to Saskatchewan, where our hosts, the WIM/WiN-SK Chapter, have put together a wonderful program. I want to acknowledge the dedication and leadership of the Conference Organizing Committee, led by the WIM/WiN-SK leadership team and WiN- Canada Board member Anne Gent. Anne and the rest of the committee have been working closely with WiN-Canada’s Executive Director, Carly Silberstein and her teammate, Nzinga Brown, to ensure that the conference is rich in both technical and professional development content. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the organizers. I sincerely appreciate your time, dedication, and continued support of WiN-Canada. I also appreciate the support that has been shown by the broader industry through its generous sponsorship of the conference. Multiple companies and organizations from across the industry have stepped up once again to help us secure the success of our annual conference. The theme of the 2018 conference is Change Starts with “U”, which will allow us to examine the full nuclear cycle, from the mining of uranium to the disposal of nuclear waste, along with how women can make positive changes in their workplaces and communities. The conference has several professional development sessions, as well as many ideas worth spreading throughout the program. By the end of the conference, participants should be enthusiastic about the future of nuclear, be primed to advance within their careers, and be ready to communicate the nuclear message. I look forward to meeting many of you today and at future events as we work on expanding our role across Canada! 2 SCHEDULE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 6:00 CIGAR LAKE AND MCCLEAN LAKE MILL TOUR* Sponsored by Cameco Corporation and Orano Canada Meet in Hotel Lobby *By advanced registration only 18:00 OPENING RECEPTION* Sponsored by SNC-Lavalin Top of the Inn, 8th Floor *Separate registration required THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 Title Sponsor: BHP 7:00 REGISTRATION AND CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST Continental Breakfast Sponsored by Golder Associates Conference Foyer 8:00 WELCOME Centre Room 8:20 MORNING PRESENTATION BREAKING BARRIERS IN THE NUCLEAR SECTOR – THE CNSC’S VISION Rumina Velshi | Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) Centre Room Ms. Velshi, as the newly appointed President and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will discuss the importance of leveraging women’s talents and perspectives in the Canadian nuclear sector. The nurturing and promotion of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has been a lifelong passion for Ms. Velshi. She will address the importance of encouraging women to pursue a career in STEM, and why the nuclear sector needs to nurture the participation of women within its workforce. She will also share what the sector can do to more effectively engage women and how the CNSC will strive to build trust by ensuring the meaningful participation of women in its regulatory processes. 8:55 GROUP PHOTO 3 SCHEDULE 9:15 KEYNOTE WHY WOMEN ARE THE BREAKTHROUGH THAT NUCLEAR NEEDS Michael Shellenberger | Environmental Progress Sponsored by Lesia Design + Digital Centre Room Nuclear power is in trouble. While nuclear generation has increased since the 2011 Fukushima panic, it remains below its mid-2000s high as total generation, and below its mid-1990s high as a percentage of total generation. Now, the world could lose twice as much nuclear as it adds by 2030. What should be done? The conventional wisdom holds that a techno-fix, like a radically new design, or new construction techniques, will save nuclear. But such a view assumes that nuclear’s underlying problems are technical and economic at a time when a growing number of nuclear industry leaders recognize that public acceptance remains the main obstacle to the future of nuclear. How can public acceptance be addressed? At a time of great debate over gender relations, do women have a special role to play in what has to date been a male-dominated industry? Michael Shellenberger will attempt to answer these questions in what is sure to be a thought-provoking speech. 10:15 MORNING BREAK Sponsored by McMaster University Conference Foyer 10:40 MORNING BREAKOUT SESSIONS Sponsored by Golder Associates CHANGE STARTS WITH U: INCLUSION - THE JOURNEY TOWARDS GENDER INCLUSION Maria Santos | Cameco Corporation East Room Maria Santos will talk about Cameco’s journey in understanding and addressing gender inclusion in its workplace. She will also examine the steps the company has taken to understand its diversity and what’s in store for diversity and inclusion in the future at Cameco. PROJECT CLEANS (CLEANUP OF ABANDONED SITES IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN), A FOCUS ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVITY Christopher Reid | Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) West Room The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is contracted by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources to assess and reclaim the Gunnar Uranium Mine and Mill Site, Lorado Uranium Mill Site and 35 Satellite Mine Sites in northern Saskatchewan (Project CLEANS). Beyond remediation, SRC strives to create and facilitate an environment that provides equal opportunities for women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) backgrounds at all levels of management. SRC also encourages diversity within the project team by regularly engaging with local stakeholders and developing new opportunities and programs to encourage involvement in the project activities. The extended teams SRC has brought together are rich in diversity ranging from highly academic to traditional knowledge. SRC ensures that the contractors and consultants hired for the project share in our vision of maintaining diversity and inclusivity. 4 SCHEDULE 10:40 MORNING BREAKOUT SESSIONS Sponsored by Golder Associates SMR AND THE FUTURE OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY Catherine Cottrell | SNC-Lavalin South Room This presentation examines the role of innovation and collaboration in the future of nuclear. It describes SNC-Lavalin’s capabilities, value and experience in being a collaborative partner and innovator. A look at the applications of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in Canada and how SNC is supporting SMR developers is presented. A brief description of SNC’s advanced fuel CANDU reactor is also provided as one of its latest innovations. NUCLEAR FOR EVERYONE Matthew Dalzell | Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) Starlight Room (full hour) Nuclear for Everyone is one of the outreach and education programs of the Canadian Nuclear Society, intended for people new to the nuclear industry or anyone seeking information about nuclear energy and nuclear science. This ‘lite’ version of the 2-3 hour Nuclear for Everyone seminar will touch on how nuclear reactors work, nuclear energy and science in Canada, and radiation and its effects. 11:15 WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH RADON? USING EPIDEMIOLOGY TO MAKE INFORMED CHOICES Robyn Reist | University of Saskatchewan East Room Health Canada attributes 16% of lung cancer deaths in Canada to radon, and considers it to be the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon exposure is the radiation protection issue that is quite literally closest to home for the majority of Canadians, but how many of us actually know how to interpret the research, or make a decision if a test in our basement is just at the threshold limit? This presentation will provide a summary and critique of the only Canadian epidemiological study on residential radon and lung cancer, a general discussion about how to interpret an epidemiological study, and outline how to use an evidence-based approach to interpret your home testing results. BUILDING PERSONAL RESILIENCE TO THRIVE IN TIMES OF CHANGE Laurie Fraser | Ontario Power Generation (OPG) West Room Never is the characteristic of resilience more important than it is during times of change. In order to thrive not just survive, during times of change one MUST be resilient. Learn about the characteristics that resilient people share; how to strengthen these characteristics and how to avoid the barriers to developing resilience. 5 SCHEDULE 11:15 MORNING BREAKOUT SESSIONS Sponsored by Golder Associates A LIFECYCLE PERSPECTIVE ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM URANIUM MINING AND MILLING IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN David Parker | Cameco Corporation South Room Nuclear power is a low emission electricity generation technology that contributes to reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This presentation provides an overview of a research study undertaken from 2013-2015 to clarify the contribution from the mining and milling of exceptionally high grade uranium ores from northern Saskatchewan to the life cycle GHG emissions of nuclear power. NUCLEAR FOR EVERYONE (continues) Matthew Dalzell | Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) Starlight Room 11:50 LUNCH Sponsored by Bruce Power Centre Room CHANGE STARTS WITH ME Laurie Swami | Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) Laurie Swami describes herself as a “Steminist.” They are a rare breed.

    Annual Report 2020

    ANNUAL REPORT 2020 1 Photo credits 2 Foreword On 1 June 1960, the newly established Supply Agency of the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) started operations, ensuring that all users in the Community received a regular and equitable supply of ores and nuclear fuel. In 2020, the Agency celebrated 60 years of continued operations, demonstrating its resilience, its ability to adapt and its determination to modernise itself. When the COVID-19 crisis hit in March, we protected ESA’s most valuable asset: its staff. The lockdown united us in keeping the spirit of a common effort focused on the Agency’s core objectives and values. The transition to remote working was accompanied by introduction of new working methods, which allowed us to deliver in this challenging time on all the critical core processes: managing nuclear fuel contracts, facilitating the supply chain of medical radioisotopes and analysing market data. The meetings of the Advisory Committee and of the European Observatory on the Supply of Medical Radioisotopes, which were for the first time ever conducted in a remote format, enabled efficient communication and decision-making, as did many meetings with our partners and stakeholders. Our response to the limitations created by the coronavirus pandemic was to take it as an enforced opportunity to accelerate the adoption of new technologies to cut red tape. We expedited investment in the Noemi application that will, for years to come, securely host data from contracts for the supply of nuclear materials and related services. This new IT system will also greatly improve monitoring of the nuclear energy market and production of reports from aggregated data.
