Abstract

The Institute of Nuclear Materials Management held a successful 53rd Annual Meeting at the Renaissance Orlando Resort at Sea World in Orlando, Florida July 15-19, 2012. The meeting featured a special opening plenary set of presentations, organized by the Japan Chapter of the INMM on Post-Fukushima Challenges in Safeguards and Security. This session was particularly well-attended, reflecting widespread concern about challenges to nuclear materials management that have arisen as a result of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011. Japan Chapter President Yoshinori Meguro chaired the first session, and introduced the topic to the INMM attendees. Presentations included lessons learned, safeguards implications, and the road ahead for the nuclear industry in Japan.
