NWMO chooses vendors for Canadian repository
Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization has selected five companies it is to work with to design and plan the organization’s proposed deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel.

HISTORY
About a dozen years or so ago, there was a formal Guest Program that added certain meals and activities for the guests. As time went on this got more and more expensive to provide, so fewer people began to attend and it just died out. While there were several reasons things didn’t work out then, there is still a desire today for the Spouses and Guests attending the meeting to be able to meet each other and possibly see the sites or do something together.
Steven A. Arndt will become the new ANS president in June at the California meeting. As his wife and “ANS First Lady” I am going to try and offer some information to you all and some options for gathering.
Anaheim Gardenwalk restaurants and stores.
ANNAHEIM
The Anaheim Packing House
This area offers a lot of fun things to do – the most obvious being Disneyland, California Adventure, etc. There are also other options than the amusement parks. Downtown Disney has a selection of retail stores, and restaurants, some of which have live entertainment. The Packing District is an old meat packing building that has been converted into a food hall (which also delivers!) In fact, most of the major attractions are all within a small distance of our hotel. Disneyland is one block away.
Don’t overlook the hotel’s indoor/outdoor pools, spa, fitness center and all the usual things we’ve come to expect from good hotels.
TRANSPORTATION
If you are not a walker there is a transportation system called FRAN (area resort transit). It is free and runs from noon to 8PM. You order this service using an app on your phone.
