2010 SAWG Workshop
Once again, the Safety Analysis Working Group (SAWG) is presenting its annual Safety Analysis Workshop, which offers training, information exchange, and productive interactions among safety professionals in the U.

It convenes policy makers, line managers, analysts, trainers, prominent safety specialists, and approvers of DOE safety basis-related activities, application and documentation. Through lively discussions and presentations, the workshop generates a stream of new ideas for strengthening and advancing safety in the energy and nuclear industries.
