Continental Breakfast (8:30-9:00 am) - 141 Boalt Hall
Introduction: Motivation, Background, and objective of the meeting (9:00–9:30 am)
Session 1: What are damages in nuclear accidents? (9:30 am-Noon) - 170 Boalt Hall
Objectives of the session: Corrective actions following a nuclear accident must be based on the definition of damage to be prevented. The difficulty lies in how we define the “damage”. Therefore we propose to elaborate an original framework for the identification and characterization of severe nuclear accident damages. Speakers of this session will give various examples and thoughts, which give clues for developing definitions.
Coffee Break (10:25-10:40 pm) - 141 Boalt Hall
Group Photo Session (11:50 am-Noon) (170 Boalt Hall)
Lunch (Noon-1:00 pm) - Box lunch provided, 141 Boalt Hall
Session 2: Measurement of Damages (1:00-3:00 pm) (170 Boalt Hall)
Objectives of the session: Now that we have developed definitions for damages after a severe accident, which are multifaceted, we need to have accurate and effective methods to measure those, as situations evolve rapidly in the aftermath. In this session, speakers introduce currently on-going efforts for applying qualitative/quantitative methods, followed by panel discussions to explore effective integration and application in decision-making process.
Coffee Break (3:20-3:50 pm) - 141 Boalt Hall
Session 3: Barriers against Transition into Resilience (3:50-5:50 pm) - 170 Boalt Hall
Objectives of the session: Recovery from nuclear accident refers to social representation of risks and cannot be limited only to technical issues or crisis management guidelines. In this view, we consider the various impediments and their interactions to the transition into resilience of the many actors of the civil society.
Dinner and Student posters session in parallel (6:30-8:30pm) (Heyns Room, The Faculty Club)

Continental Breakfast (8:30-9:00 am) - 141 Boalt Hall
Session 4: Round table discussions: Knowledge and models for transition into resilience (9:00 am-10:30 am) - 170 Boalt Hall
Chaired by Prof. Joonhong Ahn (UCB, NE/CJS/LBNL)
A short keynote to set scope and direction of discussions, including a short summary of the first day's discussion, is given by the chair, followed by a round table discussion. It is hoped that several new research questions will emerge, which will be used to organize the next break-up session.
Coffee Break (10:30 - 11:00 am) - 141 Boalt Hall
Break-up Session 5: to develop more detailed plans, based on new research questions that have emerged from Session 5 (11:00 am – noon)
Each break-up group is asked to identify a moderator, and prepare a written summary. Discussions can be continued inthe lunch time.
Working Lunch (Noon-1:30 pm) Box lunch provided in Break-up rooms
Session 6: Round table discussion: Wrap-up discussion (1:30-3:00 pm) - 170 Boalt Hall
