The "Take A Look Back" panel session will focus on the progress in D&D over the last 50 years of the industry to back when first formal D&D projects (early to mid-1970s Piqua Rx D&D, Elk River Reactor D&D, Yankee Rowe NPP D&D and other DOE projects, among others, as examples) were undertaken. Seasoned panelists and experts will address changes to the D&D projects' typical course and how all the various aspects have changed, based on project experiences and their experiences. Panelists -- many of whom worked through that entire life cycle of 1975-2024 in various technical areas -- will address topics such as waste management, project management and project approaches, technologies selection and availability, stakeholder engagement and its evolution and facility/site characterization and release.
