==================


RISK-BASED PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT AND DECISION MAKING

Sponsored by the  Environmental Sciences Division of the ANS (American 
Nuclear Society) 

Co-Sponsored by ANS Fuel Cycle and Waste Management Division and the ANS 
Decommissioning, Decontamination, and Reutilization Division 

Hosted by the ANS Eastern Washington Section 
April 5-8, 1998 - Pasco, Washington

The 1998 Environmental Sciences Division Topical Meeting on Risk-Based 
Performance Assessment and Decision Making will address several 
important issues related to the use of performance and risk assessments 
in making decisions regarding nuclear facility safety, waste management 
and environmental restoration.  A focus of the topical meeting will be 
on the methods used for conducting performance and risk assessments and 
how those assessments can be used to make better decisions. Of 
particular interest is the interaction of the risk practitioners and the 
decision makers who utilize the results of performance and risk 
assessments. Environmental, safety and health risks as well as 
programmatic and policy risks will be addressed.  The topical meeting 
will feature a plenary session, invited speakers, case studies, and 
contributed papers of interest to scientists, engineers, decision 
makers, regulators, and the general public.
