The WM Technical Program is organized by volunteers in nine Tracks. Listed below are the descriptions of these Tracks and the sessions organized for WM2020 1 - CROSSCUTTING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS This Track includes overall crosscutting policies and major programs. Similar topics that are not crosscutting across all Tracks and thus specific to a single waste type (e.g. HLW, SNF, LLW, etc.) or program (e.g. ER, D&D, etc.) should be submitted to the specific Track for that waste type or program. Presentations of waste management programs and policies at a multinational level are particularly encouraged. Other potential topics include crosscutting regulatory issues, contracting, legal aspects, per-mitting (licensing) and compliance activities, criteria and standards development, privatization issues, legislation, enforcement agency and state issues (including multiparty agreements), interface, and other high-level crosscutting issues that involve mul-tiple waste types/programs or Tracks. Related Sessions: 1, 2, 6, 12, 22, 23, 32, 34, 35, 45, 52, 55, 56, 58, 59, 67, 68, 69, 77, 88, 94, 96, 97A-D, 108, 110B, 115, 120, 132, 133 2 - HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTES (HLW), SPENT/USED NUCLEAR FUEL (SNF/UNF) AND LONG-LIVED ALPHA/TRANSURANIC RADIOACTIVE WASTE (TRU) This Track covers all long-lived alpha/TRU waste, SNF/UNF and HLW operations from generation and storage through charac-terization, treatment and disposal. It also covers associated technology development and deployment; recycling/reprocessing strategies and technologies; periodic progress updates oriented to specific achievements in waste removal and disposal activi-ties, and overlapping issues including: interim and final disposition strategies for SNF/UNF and HLW, associated environmen-tal permitting and monitoring of stored waste, waste processing alternatives, waste form, deep geologic disposal and operating facility performance and risk assessment, and the impacts of directly associated regulations and standards.

Standard risk assessment assumptions often do not adequately address the cultural and spiritual values that may be unique to indigenous societies. Factoring those into a risk assessment that still meets regulatory requirements and policies such as reasonably anticipated land use at US EPA CERCLA sites can be challenging but has the potential to lead to a site or facility approach that is more accepted.

Session 132 13:00 - 16:35 Room 102BC WMS Board Panel: Risk-Informed Approach for Decision Making in WM, D&D and SNF Management: Reasonable Assurance for Safety (R1.15) Session Co-Chairs: Larry Camper, Advoco Professional Services, LLC; Angie Jones, Wood plc Lead Organizer: Larry Camper, Advoco Professional Services, LLC Additional Organizer: Rateb (Boby) Abu Eid, US NRC Panel Reporter: J. Scott Kirk, Savannah River Remediation This WMS BOD featured panel focuses on the Risk-Informed Approach for Decision Making in WM, D&D and SNF Management and the Reasonable Assurance for Safety. The panelists will address and discuss with the audience different approaches used for decision-making, summarizing ongoing probabilistic vs. deterministic approaches, including IAEA graded approach, and discuss policies/approaches to achieve reasonable assurance for safety rather than using absolute assurance. Panelists:

Paul Black, Chairman, Neptune and Company, Inc. Rateb (Boby) Abu Eid, Senior Level Service (SLS) Advisor, US NRC Charles Ferguson, Board Director, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine Horst Monken Fernandes, Environmental Remediation Specialist, IAEA (Austria) James McKinney, Chief Strategist, Integrated Waste Management, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (United Kingdom)

Session 133 13:00 - 14:40 Room 104AB Panel: Integrating Economic Redevelopment and Workforce Transition into DOE Site Closure Planning (R1.18) Session Co-Chairs: Eric Knox, Amentum; Daniel Melchior, Parsons Lead Organizer: Eric Knox, Amentum Additional Organizer: Daniel Melchior, Parsons Panel Reporter: Eric Knox, Amentum This panel focuses on post – closure impacts to the long-term site workforce and communities in DOE’s approach to accelerated site cleanup and expedited reduction of long-term financial liabilities. At sites where Cold-War workers shifted from weapons production to the cleanup effort, a more holistic approach to the workforce transition Post-EM cleanup is needed. This holistic approach would include incentives for expedited closure, trade re-training, and a vision for future site commercial activities. The panel will discuss the importance of the right workforce incentives that includes appropriate training for displaced workers so that they can be integrated into a next job. A key aspect of this discussion will be to re-assess the current and future land use opportunities related to land re-

use concepts. By re-arranging cleanup sequencing is it possible to divest land sooner than originally projected for productive commercial use hence reducing the DOE long-term liability and consequently increasing an economic soft landing for those Cold-War workers. Panelists:
