Toronto: INLA Congress 2009 Conference
October 5-9, 2009
INLA Congress, Toronto - A view of the audience from the stage.
The 19th biennial INLA Congress was recently held over the week of October 5-10, 2009 at the Four Seasons hotel in Yorkville, Toronto, Canada. Over 200 delegates from six continents attended to hear presentations from nuclear law specialists representing suppliers, utilities, regulators, government, private lawyers, and academics from Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, Japan, India, China, Russia, and Australia. Presentations covered legal issues such as harmonizing design standards, harmonizing nuclear liability, extending nuclear liability to designers and suppliers, streamlining regulation, adapting regulation in developing countries, public consultation and access to information, nuclear security, new nuclear generation, refurbishment, and decommissioning.
As the President of INLA, Stanley Berger said in his concluding remarks to the Congress, “The Congress didn't simply offer a reference library for nuclear law issues, it left the delegates with ideas and concrete proposals for how to better prepare for the future, whatever that future might be.”
