I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Technical Meeting is to provide a forum for experts from Member States to discuss a new uranium deposit classification scheme based on the IAEA UDEPO database
(World Distribution of Uranium Deposits). This classification scheme is an important update to the classification of uranium deposits as new discoveries and an increased understanding of the genesis of uranium deposits over the last several years has led to a need to update the current IAEA classification scheme.
Several experts have been commissioned by the IAEA to draft the UDEPO-based classification scheme and this meeting will be the first time that the classification will be introduced to the broader international community of experts. The Technical Meeting will aim to provide an international forum for presentation and discussion of a variety of uranium deposit model types, particularly in regards to applying the newly proposed UDEPO scheme.
In addition, an emphasis will be on discussing and reviewing aspects of volcanic-related deposits, as there has been an increased interest in exploration for this type of deposit in

recent years and it has been over two decades since volcanic deposits have been the specific topic of a Technical Meeting at the IAEA.
The target participants of the Technical Meeting are professionals engaged in uranium exploration, resource evaluation and production, researchers, energy planners and officials interested in uranium resources from Member States.
The Technical Meeting (TM) will be held at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria.
II. TOPICS
Delegate contributions, as audio-visual slide presentations, are invited on the following topics;

Uranium deposits with a particular emphasis on unclassified or new deposit model types as proposed in the UDEPO classification scheme (examples of new types include: Granite-related; Metamorphite; Lignite and Coal; Carbonate; Black Shale;
Sandstone sub-type mafic dykes/sills in Proterozoic Sandstone) and;

Volcanic-related deposits, to include the three main sub-types: Structure-bound;
Strata-bound; and Volcano-sedimentary.

VII. EXPENDITURES
In accordance with the established rules, Governments, national authorities, private companies or individual sources are expected to bear the travel and other costs of designated participants in the meeting. Limited funds are, however, available to help cover the cost of participants from Member States eligible to receive technical assistance under the IAEA’s technical cooperation programme. Such assistance can be offered, upon specific request, to one participant per country provided that, in the IAEA’s view, this participant will make an important contribution to the meeting. The application for financial support should be made at the time of the designation of the participant.
The Secretariat wishes to state that compensation is not payable by the IAEA for any damage to or loss of the experts’ personal property. However, for the period of their engagement with the IAEA, including travel between their residence and the duty station, the designated experts will be covered under the IAEA’s insurance policy for permanent total disablement or death resulting from service-incurred accidents or illness up to a maximum of €100 000, for permanent partial disablement resulting from service-incurred accidents or illness up to a maximum of €100 000 and for medical expenses up to a maximum of €20 000 plus €10 000 for supplementary travel and accommodation expenses in case of illness or injury resulting from service-incurred accidents or illness, in accordance with the terms of the IAEA’s relevant insurance policy. This insurance coverage only covers accidents and illnesses insofar as they clearly result from attendance at an IAEA meeting. The IAEA recommends that the expert also make arrangements for private insurance coverage on an individual basis.
