Nuclear Networking Lunch - ITER Project

Country: United Kingdom
Location: North East England
Venue: NOF Energy Offices
Contact: Jenna Gray - T: +44(0) 191 384 6464/For more information visit www.iter.org
Additional information: Nuclear Networking Lunch - ITER Project

Find out about opportunities with regards to the ITER Project and increase your contacts at this networking lunch.

The multi billion Euro ITER project being built in France, is the next step in fusion research and is one of the world’s largest international co-operative research and development projects.

The big challenge now is to identify, and encourage, UK companies to compete for international supply contracts for the construction and operation of the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor (ITER). The CCFE's Fusion and Industry team is responsible for ensuring that UK supply chain makes the most of the business opportunities arising from the ITER project.

The UK has a lot to offer to the ITER project in terms of high quality engineering, technology and other services. Tremendous commercial opportunities will arise from this world class fusion research project and NOF Energy are keen to introduce the supply chain to potential new business.

This networking event will provide you with an update on the ITER project along with current contract opportunities.



At this event, you will hear from Dan Mistry, Culham Centre Fusion Energy.

The Nuclear Institute Lecture Programme 2009/10 - High Powered Lasers for Decommissioning by Colin Walters, TWI

Country: United Kingdom
Location: Cumbria
Venue: Samual Lindow Building, UCLAN, Westlakes
Contact: events@nicumbria.org, Matt Aukett on 019467 81844
Additional information: The lecture will focus on research work that has recently been carried out TWI to demonstrate the capability of high power laser based systems to scrabble concrete and cut pipework in support of decommissioning applications is now by NDA definition at TRL 6. This work has been funded via the NDA and while not yet utilised in “active” applications is an excellent opportunity to find out about some of the cutting edge research that is being carried out and available for use in decommissioning projects.

Lectures are free and open to the public. Tea and coffee will be served from 5:00pm with the lecture starting at 5:30pm.

Presentation: 1: Open Street Map – How to Contribute and Use 2: Experiences of MapAction in Haiti

Country: United Kingdom
Location: Leeds
Venue: NTI Leeds,Old Broadcasting House, 148 Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9EN.
Contact: http://www.agi.org.uk/pooled/articles/BF_EVENTART/view.asp?Q=BF_EVENTART_318556
Additional information: Speakers: Tim Waters, OpenStreetMap; Anne-Marie Frankland, MapAction

This two part presentation will provide an overview of the ‘open source’ mapping and geodata phenomenon that is OpenStreetMap, explaining how anybody can collect data and how they can use it. We will then look at how MapAction recently used OpenStreetMap in Haiti to support emergency rescue and recovery operations.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free and open geodata project. It's quite easy to get started with the project, as there's a healthy ecosystem of tools and services that surrounds it. We will look at how to get started contributing to the project and how the data can be used. There are many routes whereby mapping data can be contributed. Some options range from tracing aerial imagery and historical maps, surveying in the field with consumer-grade GPS units, data imports from organisations, through to pencil on sketch maps! Tools are also available to help monitor and moderate changes. Using OpenStreetMap data is also easy, with solutions available for most needs. Up to data exports into ESRI Shapefile formats are available and online routing services can be found. Custom applications such as an automated bus route poster & destination finder has been made. Map renderers can be used to generate map tiles and there are tools for importing data onto mobile devices.

There are many possible uses for OSM data; recently during the Haiti Earthquake crisis, relief workers chose to use OSM as other maps were not as good, freely available, or able to easily and quickly updated.
