EBR-I 50TH ANNIVERSARY
RECEPTION
Monday, November 12, 2001
7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Location: Silver State Pavilion
Electricity was generated for the first time in
the world by nuclear energy on December 20,
1951. On that date the 1-MW NaK-cooled
Experimental Breeder Reactor I, located at
the INEEL in Idaho, lit four light bulbs.
Subsequently, in 1953, EBR-I demonstrated
proof of the breeding of 239Pu from 238U.
The long-term vision of the designers of
EBR-I was that all uranium, not just a small
portion of it, would serve humankind for
millennia. Their vision was translated into
the design and construction of twenty larger
liquid metal cooled fast breeder reactors
in several countries. Many of the design
principles embodied in EBR-I are replicated
in all modern fast reactors.
This event, fifty years ago, was truly the birth
of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The
vision of the early pioneers who designed and
operated EBR-I will undoubtedly become
reality as humankind seeks abundant and
environmentally responsible energy in
the coming decades. December 20, 2001,
marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s first
generation of electricity from nuclear power.
This historic event occurred at the
Experimental Breeder Reactor–I (EBR–I) at
Idaho Falls, Idaho.
A reception and program will be held
on Monday evening, November 12th, to
celebrate this momentous event.

VIRGINIA CITY SALOON PARTY
Tuesday, November 13, 2001
6:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.
Established in 1859, Virginia City became
the richest mining town in the world. San
Francisco was built from the mines of the
Comstock, and the Civil War was partially
financed from gold and silver discovered
beneath the city. Today’s Virginia City is
remarkably the same as it was during its
heyday with wooden sidewalks, restored
mansions, mine tours, “Old West” saloons
and the Piper Opera House. Virginia
City is the perfect place for a good ‘ol
Virginia City - will take you back in time
100 years to the site of the world’s richest
silver strike and the largest historical
district in the U.S.

THE DEPARTURE BUS.
THE DONNER MEMORIAL & NORTH
LAKE TAHOE
Monday, November 12, 2001
10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Departing Reno we will proceed through
the scenic Sierra Nevada Mountains to the
historic town of Truckee. Featured in
America’s history of westward expansion,
many early pioneers followed the Emigrant
Trail through Truckee. Today, Truckee
retains much of its old west flavor and
historic charm. Nostalgic Commercial Row,
lined with fine dining spots and quaint
shops, offers the visitor a glimpse into
history.
After driving through downtown Truckee,
we will proceed to Donner Memorial
State Park. The Donner Party was part of
one of the early wagon trains coming
across the country attempting to reach
California. They ran into severe weather
conditions and spent a desperate winter
on the shores of Donner Lake. You will
have an opportunity to view the museum
and enjoy a presentation detailing this
historic episode. If you desire, you may
walk a short accessible hard surfaced trail
viewing some of the important sightings.
Our tour continues past Squaw Valley,
home of the 1960 Winter Olympics. You
can see the “eternal flame” continuously
ignited at the entrance.
Tahoe City will be our next stop. You will
have an opportunity to shop at several
shopping areas. After proceeding along the
beautiful North Shore of Lake Tahoe, the
tour will climb the Mount Rose Highway,
including a stop at the spectacular Vista
Point for one last breath-taking view of
Lake Tahoe.
Tickets can be purchased in advance or
on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for
$47 each. (Lunch is included.)
RENO ARTOURING
Tuesday, November 13, 2001
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Lake Tahoe
Visit several studios of the VERY talented
local artists in the Reno area. Talents
include wearable art, original jewelry, photographers (his work looks like Ansel
Adams), weavers, public space sculpture
artist, painters, print makers, textile design,
watercolor and portrait painting, potters,
basketry, calligraphy and more.
Tickets can be purchased in advance or
on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for
$38 each.
Bus transportation for all
evening events, spouse/guest
tours and technical tours will
depart from and return to the
front entrance (lobby area) of
the Reno Hilton Hotel.
2001 ANS WINTER MEETING: “NUCLEAR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT”
Created in 1959 by an act of the Nevada Legislature, the Desert Research Institute
(DRI) was initially established as part of the University of Nevada. When the University
of Nevada System was formed in 1968, the DRI became an autonomous, nonprofit
division of the University and Community College System. Over its 40-year history, the
DRI has grown to be one of the world's largest multidisciplinary environmental research
organizations.
GREAT BASIN ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORY
The Great Basin Environmental Research Laboratory (GBERL) was developed by the
Desert Research Institute as a multidisciplinary research facility for the study of plant,
ecosystem and biosphere function, and global environmental change. It is located in
Reno, Nevada USA where 300+ days of sunshine per year, moderate temperatures and
low atmospheric humidity provide an ideal climate setting for the facility.
Participate in a technical tour of the DRI featuring their renewable hydrogen, fuel cell,
test facility and the Great Basin Environmental Research Laboratory.
Tickets can be purchased in advance or on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for $20 each.

Organizers: Leon Walters (ANL), David Scott, (Founding Director,
Institute for Integrated Energy Systems; University of Victoria,
Canada; and Vice-President [for the Americas], International
Association for Hydrogen Energy). All invited
From the vantage of 2050—perhaps sooner—the ANS meeting of
2001 may come to be seen as the turning point for the nuclear
industry. The Bush Administration has clearly stated that the
continuing use of nuclear power and its further deployment must
be part of any rational energy planning. Moreover, although the
United States has not joined other nations in endorsing the Kyoto
Protocol specifics, reducing greenhouse emissions must be central
to any sustainable energy policy. For any hope of significant greenhouse gas reduction, nuclear power is required.
For these reasons, the ANS 2001 Meeting Organizing Committee
has structured the plenary sessions to provide both a retrospective
on where we have been and a prospective on where we might go.
And, where we might go is surprisingly exciting. We usually think
of ourselves as suppliers of energy in the form of electricity and of
other important but less visible services ranging from health care
to food irradiation. More recently, it is being recognized that the
transportation services energy market—now trapped in the fossil
fuel industry and therefore inaccessible to nuclear power—may
soon begin a transition to hydrogen. And, if hydrogen becomes the
staple fuel of transportation during the 21st century, nuclear energy
has an entirely new energy market that could, itself, become more
than double the electricity market.
With so much promise on the horizon—promise built upon the
genius and perseverance in the past—the four speakers for our two
plenary sessions have been selected for their unique perspectives
on the history of nuclear power, the drivers shaping our evolving
energy system, the potential role of nuclear-derived hydrogen, and
the shape of R&D needed to allow the promise.

There is promise that recovery of the nuclear enterprise is happening
after the precipitous decline of the last decade. Unfortunately, at the
same time, a significant number of engineers and scientists have
retired from the workforce and with them a great deal of undocumented knowledge. These people were not replaced due to lack of
funds. At the same time, enrollment in nuclear-related university
programs declined. Without the transfer of knowledge from one
generation to another through continuity in the workforce, a concerted
effort must be made to preserve this knowledge through effective
archiving methods. A panel of experts will be assembled to discuss
what knowledge must be preserved, how it should be archived for the
next generation, and how such an endeavor could be achieved.
There will be a question-and-answer session after the last presentation.

*U.S. Department of Energy Facility Safety Culture: Lessons
Learned from the 11th Annual Energy Facility Contractors
Group Safety Analysis Workshop–Panel, sponsored by NISD;
cosponsored by OPD. Session Organizer: Kevin O'Kula (Westinghouse
SMS). All invited
This panel highlights the key technical innovations, the lessons
learned, and major themes identified from the June 2001 Embedded
Topical Energy Facility Contractors Group Safety Analysis Workshop
(June 14–21, 2001, Milwaukee). The Workshop was the eleventh
annual technical conference in a series promoting consistent and
standardized safety analysis tailored to the hazard level posed by DOE
facilities. Safe operation and utilization of existing facilities, new missions,
consolidation of strategic infrastructure, and dispositioning of older,
nonviable facilities within the DOE Complex are the recurring themes
of the Workshop. Additionally, this year's meeting discussed new
facilities and operational hazards of "non-standard" facilities such as
accelerators and mixed oxide fuel fabrication installations.
The meeting provided a forum for safety analysts and sharing of lessons
learned, operational insights, and achievable solutions to Complex-wide
issues. Implementation of 10 CFR 830 Nuclear Safety Management
Rule, Accident Phenomenology and Computer Modeling, Natural
Phenomena Hazards, Integrated Safety Management Process
Implementation, Decontamination and Decommissioning, Updating
the Authorization Basis, and other key topics were covered. Specific
subjects covered in Panels and Technical Papers were:
1. DOE and Contractor Perspectives on Implementation of the
Nuclear Safety Management Rule
2. Experience Implementing Integrated Safety Management Processes
3. Transportation of Fissile and Nuclear Waste—Inter-Site Issues
4. Computer Code Improvements and Software Quality Assurance
Issues
5. Implementing Integrated Systems for Hazard and Risk Analyses,
and Achieving "Real" Safety Improvements
6. Statistical Methods in Accident Analysis
7. Consequence Determination and Building Wake Effects
8. Safety Assessment of a MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility.
A panel of selected representatives from Department of Energy headquarters, field offices, contractors, independent oversight, and safety
analysis consultants will discuss the major methodology, regulatory,
and technical areas that dominated the Workshop.

The nuclear pipeline begins in the classroom, and it is becoming
apparent the pipeline is leaking, if not drying up. The decline in
nuclear engineering program enrollments over the last ten years has
been precipitous. University departments are struggling to hire and
retain good faculty to teach these students. A future (if not current)
shortage of trained engineers has been recognized by the government,
nuclear industry, and the press, with alarm. Students of all engineering
disciplines must be encouraged to enter the nuclear field because
of the opportunities that exist now and in the future. The panel will
discuss actions and initiatives that coordinate the strengths of two
national societies to solve this looming personnel deficit.

*Developing an Integrated Vision for Environmental
Security and Safety in Nuclear Power Development–Panel,
sponsored by NISD; cosponsored by ESD, HFD. Session Organizer:
Robert Nitschke (Lockheed Martin). All invited
There is a pressing need to address in an environmentally sound manner
the legacy of environmental safety problems that have resulted from
the development of the nuclear industry, both defense and commercial.
The problems span the full cycle from mining to production to
disposal. In some countries (particularly the U.S.), if the nuclear
industry is ever to become revitalized and to obtain the necessary support
of the general populace, it is critical that these environmental matters
be addressed in a timely and safe manner. If these problems languish,
they may also lead to political instability both within and outside
a country's borders, as many of these problems carry the great cost
associated with any cleanup activities. Therefore, it is important
to develop an integrated vision and guidelines for environmental
nuclear safety. This will be particularly important for countries that are
developing nuclear power infrastructure or have plans to purchase and
operate nuclear power plants.
This session will seek not only to identify the nature and extent of
the problems but also to share lessons about resolution attempts; it will
provide a forum for identification of an integrated vision of nuclear/environmental safety. This session may be of interest to the Fuel Cycle and
Waste Management Division or the Environmental Sciences Division.
