RI.Logistica: Handle with Care: Dangerous & Hazardous Goods

May 11, 2021
Transferring dangerous and hazardous goods is an extremely complicated task filled with strict rules and regulations due to the critical repercussions that would result if something went wrong during the process.

In Session 7 of the RI.Logistica conference, we will hear from three organisations who are experienced in shipping these types of items, and how they prepare in order to avoid disastrous situations.

What is the outlook for the use of enriched uranium for scientific research? Where are the European pinch-points for transportation of radioactive materials? Where has the logistics industry failed and where has it exceeded expectations for safety? Our speakers will address these and many more issues during Session 7, Handle with Care: Dangerous & hazardous Goods.

Join us on 20 May 2021 from 10:30-11:45 CEST. The speakers and topics of this session are:

  • Global needs and national borders: the logistics and politics of radioactive transport, Sally Alvarez De Schreiner, Senior Procurement Officer, International Atomic Energy Agency; and Richard Lelievre, Procurement Officer, International Atomic Energy Agency
  • How it’s done: sending and receiving hazardous material, Stéphanie Chatelain, The French National Centre for Scientific Research
  • Managing expectations from factory to facility, Tobias Vikberg, Head of Cylinder Operations, Linde Gas AB
  • Moderator of this session will be Jean-Michel Mure, Head of Nuclear Safety Unit, Fusion for Energy

The RI.Logistica conference is an online event designed for research infrastructures, their users and collaborators, companies in supply chain management, and governmental authorities to discuss all aspects of logistics critical for research facilities and laboratories.
