I can honestly say that I am very proud to get this opportunity to open this symposium and provide a few opening remarks on nuclear energy and nuclear waste management. I was once a nuclear chemist myself. Moreover, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, IVA, has since her start in 1919 been concerned with all aspects of energy questions and energy politics but particularly in recent decades with the nuclear energy issues.

Great Pleasure

It is a great pleasure for me to deliver the keynote address this morning, opening the 18th International Symposium on the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management. On behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan, I would like to welcome all of you, particularly those who have travelled across the ocean to attend this symposium.

Scale Reactor

Radioactive waste arises in large quantities only as a consequence of the civil and military applications of nuclear energy. The problems connected with its management and eventual disposal are not, therefore, problems that would have suggested themselves as topics for research but for the existence of large-scale reactor operations. Interest in nuclear waste management has therefore both a social and a scientific origin. This is not to say, however, that the researches that are necessary in order safely and responsibly to handle nuclear radioactive waste arisings do not entrain questions of considerable scientific interest in their own right. In particular, the need to find secure disposal routes and sites lead us into geological and marine researches that have a high interest in their own academic right. There is, similarly, very considerable scientific interest in establishing and understanding the interlinked pathways through which nuclear waste, buried or otherwise disposed of, might work its way back into the food chain.

Excellent Work

The symposium “Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management XVII” was held in June 15 – 19, 2003, in Kalmar, Sweden. The symposium, which was officially opened by the County Govenor of Kalmar County, Sven Lindgren, attracted 222 participants from 21 countries. Nearly 200 papers were presented during the three days of scientific sessions.Organizing a symposium this size requires the assistance of a large number of people involved both in establishing the scientific program and in planning and executing the practical organizational arrangements. Our window to the world, the symposium's homepage, was continuously kept up to date through the excellent work of Jonny Rönnfjord.
