The 5th International Advisory Meeting (December 5–6, 2017)
The 5th International Advisory Meeting was held December 5–6, 2017. International advisors are overseas experts who provide advice to the Board of Directors of the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning (IRID). Topics include organizational operations and management issues.
The International Advisors observed the progress resulting from IRID activities that were conducted during the past year. In addition, they evaluated IRID’s establishment of the IRID Design Review Meeting (IDR), R&D management, enhancement of communications and information releases, and self-assessment. Additionally, the advisors offered valuable advice on various topics, such as establishment of the knowledge management system and the promotion of balanced R&D.
