The 18th Natural Analogue Working Group (NAWG) Conference

10th June & 13th June 2025, University of Manchester

A three day workshop chaired by Dr Russell Alexander, in association with Prof Kevin Taylor (UoM) and Prof Simon Norris (Nuclear Waste Services and UoM). To attend please visit the NAWG website.  

The NAWG-18 workshop will be an opportunity to explore recent developments in the use of natural analogues (NA) in supporting safety cases (SC) for the disposal of radioactive wastes. Argumentation by use of analogy is well established in many fields including philosophy, biology, linguistics and law and most scientists are familiar with this approach and will have used it at some point in their career. If you are keen to learn more about how we employ this approach in radioactive waste disposal, why not come along?
