2003 ANS/ENS International Winter Meeting (WITH COOPERATION FROM NEI) The “Atoms for Peace” Exhibit The "Atoms for Peace" exhibit, on loan from the National Atomic Museum, Albuquerque, New Mexico, will help celebrate the 50th anniversary of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s Dec. 8, 1953 mandate to the United Nations, where he called for peaceful applications of the atom. Eisenhower pledged devotion of "heart and mind to find the way by which the miraculous inventiveness of man shall not be dedicated to his death, but consecrated to his life." The exhibit will bring attendees in touch with the genius of Swiss-born Erik Nitsche, whose prodigious career spans nearly 60 years. "Atoms for Peace," first commissioned by the General Dynamics Corp. in 1955, encompasses virtually the entire sphere of visual communication. Here, portions of the original and subsequent lithographic public relations-oriented fine art depict Nitsche’s interpretation of nuclear energy using modern technologies for the era. Originally created to illustrate General Dynamics’ dedication to peace through scientific exploration and research, the feature posters promote use of nuclear energy worldwide and are imprinted in languages of various regions, among them English, Spanish, German, French, Hindi, Japanese, and Russian.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR 1300 PERDIDO STREET, SUITE 2E04 NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70112 (504) 565-6440 C . RAY NAGIN MAYOR

Dear ANS/ENS Members, I am pleased to welcome the members of the American Nuclear Society to New Orleans. During your conference, you will be discussing ways nuclear technology can lead to global economic growth while safeguarding the environment. That is a noble goal as our country gears up for a greater reliance on nuclear power. I hope that your visit will not entirely be focused on the deep issues that face the energy market. While you’re here, be sure to experience not only our famed French Quarter, but also our many other distinct neighborhoods. Use the streetcar to see the majesty of the homes in the Garden District on the way to our world-renowned Audubon Zoo. Visit the 200-year-old plantation homes along Bayou St. John that lead you to the doorstep of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the lush gardens of City Park. In the heart of our business district the “New Downtown” has sprung up, bordered by the Riverwalk Marketplace at the Riverfront, and the New Orleans Centre, a regional shopping mall at the Superdome. There you will also find new art galleries, music clubs, elegant hotels, and, of course, great restaurants. The song “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans,” was written not just for people from New Orleans, but for visitors as well. We know that having welcomed you once, we will welcome you again. Sincerely,

C. Ray Nagin Mayor, City of New Orleans

New Orleans “New Orleans has been bestowed with many titles in her lifetime: “Paris of the Americas,” “The City That Care Forgot,” “The Big Easy.” And given her rich, diverse history, it’s easy to see why. Founded in 1718 by the French aristocrat Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, she is a tremendous, sensuous city steeped in tradition, superstition and romance. This undisputed “Queen of the Mississippi” is also one of the most popular convention and meeting destinations in the United States.” Old World charm, urban excitement, rural tranquility: New Orleans is a city of great geographic diversity. The French Quarter Founded in 1718, The French Quarter is one of the oldest and most extraordinary neighborhoods in the United States. People often refer to it as the “heart” of New Orleans. And with good reason: Many of the city’s attractions can be found within this vibrant enclave of hotels, clubs, shops and restaurants. Here, you’ll find a number of historic sites, including Jackson Square, the public plaza named in honor of General Andrew Jackson, and the Cabildo, site of the signing of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase Transfer. The Quarter is also home to Bourbon Street, the world-renowned “playground of the South.” The Central Business District The Central Business District is located adjacent to the French Quarter. This section of downtown boasts a wide range of attractions: the Louisiana Superdome; Riverwalk Marketplace; and the Aquarium of the Americas, to name a few. The Garden District This primarily residential neighborhood occupies a section of town located between St. Charles Avenue and Magazine Street. The Garden District is best known for its stunning antebellum homes and opulent gardens, many of which date back to the mid-1800s. Uptown West of the Garden District lies Uptown. Uptown encompasses several commercial and residential quarters, including Audubon Park, a lush, 340-acre sanctuary for the students of Loyola University and Tulane. Audubon Park also contains the Audubon Zoo, a habitat for more than 1,500 animal species. Lakefront New Orleans is bordered on the north by Lake Pontchartrain; the area above the French Quarter is known as “lakeside.” Named after its early Native American inhabitants, Lake Pontchartrain is a yearround haven for boaters, swimmers, fisherman and picnickers. Along its banks, you’ll find an array of recreational hot-spots, including the Old Spanish Fort, an 18th-century fortress-turned-resort area, and West End, a cluster of delectable seafood restaurants and yacht clubs along Lakeshore Drive.

The National D-DAY Museum Tuesday, November 18, 2003 6:15 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.

The founders of the House of Blues (HOB) envisioned a home for live music and southern-inspired cuisine in an environment celebrating the African American cultural contributions of blues music and folk art. In the HOB Music Halls, you will find almost every music genre imaginable. The HOB founders' passion for the South guided the creation of their unique menu. Their chefs developed artistic adaptations of traditional southern favorites such as Creole Jambalaya and BBQ Baby Back Ribs while creating dishes like Pan Seared Voodoo Shrimp and Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. They take great pride in cooking from scratch with the freshest ingredients served with soulful southern hospitality.

The National D-Day Museum, which opened June 6, 2000 in New Orleans, celebrates the American spirit, the teamwork, optimism, courage and sacrifice of the men and women who won World War II and promotes the exploration and expression of these values by future generations. The 16,000-square-foot gallery of The National D-Day Museum is divided into four, state-of-the-art, interactive exhibits that intermix oral histories from veterans worldwide, artifacts, documents and photographs with hands-on activities and never before seen film footage.

Our reception will be in a gorgeously decorated private room. You will dine on a variety of creative culinary delights. While you feast on the delicious menu, you will enjoy live entertainment, The Wild Magnolias. Don’t forget to save room for dessert!

Spend a private evening in The National D-Day Museum. You will enjoy a “Taste of New Orleans” followed by access to the exhibits for an evening of exploration into the history of one of the most complex military operations ever staged. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to share the evening with your colleagues at the museum.

New Orleans Museum of Art – Quest for Immortality Tuesday, November 18, 2003 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

New Orleans Cemetery Tour – Day of the Dead Wednesday, November 19, 2003 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Your group will be met at the hotel by a tour guide and bus to transport you to the site. During the trip, your guide will give a history on plantations and the stories (both legend and reality) that make them so popular. Once at Oak Alley, guests will take a personalized, guided tour of the grounds and the mansion. After the tour, your group will enjoy a wonderful lunch buffet under the Pavilion and have an opportunity to browse the gift shop. The history, grandeur and romance that is the Old South will make this day a special memory for all.

Discover the mysteries of the tombs and experience New Orleans’ Museum of Art which is located in one of New Orleans’ most beautiful parks, City Park. This tour brings your group to a very special exhibition – Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient Egypt at New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). This is a new, premier exhibit – the first exhibition of ancient art from the Egyptian national collection to tour the United States since ‘King Tut’, over twenty years ago. Some objects have never been on public display and many that have not been seen outside of Egypt are included. These pieces, the largest selection of antiquities ever loaned by Egypt for exhibition in North America, were selected to illuminate the Pharaonic concepts of the afterlife, sustenance and renewal, and the relationship with the divine. For the first time, the Egyptian tradition of caring for the afterlife is revealed. Following the tour, the group will enjoy light refreshments served at the museum.

Spend a day touring one of the city’s most famous cemeteries. This is no ordinary tour, because nationally recognized speaker, author, and famous New Orleans historian, Buddy Stall, will lead your group through the fascinating story of New Orleans ‘Cities of the Dead’. Guests will learn about New Orleans history and how the hauntingly beautiful cemeteries fit into that history. You will meet some of the Big Easy’s more notorious and famous denizens in their final resting place.

Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for $56 each, ticket price includes lunch.

Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for $33 each, ticket price includes refreshments.

Tickets can be purchased on-site at the ANS Registration Desk for $44 each, ticket price includes lunch.

Spend a day at one of the most famous plantations in Louisiana and experience the magic of the past. In the early 1700’s, a settler defined his dwelling’s entrance with an alley of live oaks in two rows leading to the river. One hour from New Orleans, this National Historic Landmark is famous for its alley of 300-year-old live oak trees. This antebellum mansion has been refurbished according to the original inventory.

After the tour, you will take the bus to “Commander’s Palace.” A hidden jewel in the heart of New Orleans' Garden District, Commander's Palace is truly one of the finest dining experiences in the world. Commander's setting with sounds that soothe the soul and set the mood for an unparalleled culinary adventure. As you sit spellbound by the atmosphere, you may hardly notice the attention to detail with which the Brennan name is synonymous.

2004 UTILITY EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE AND VENDOR TECHNOLOGY EXPO

FEBRUARY 1-4, 2004 •

MARRIOTT MOUNTAIN SHADOWS RESORT AND GOLF CLUB, SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA

“Future Vision: Tomorrow’s Nuclear Workforce” MAIN DISCUSSION TOPICS Plan to join nuclear utility executives to address the future vision and workforce needs of the nuclear industry.

1. The roles of ANS, NEI, INPO, NRC, EPRI and utility executives to attract a younger workforce to the nuclear industry. How can they work together in this effort?

2. How to attract/retain a younger workforce to ensure continued nuclear utility operation. Could workers be retrained for a different position or cross-trained in a different area?

SUPPLIER FLEET STANDARDIZATION A strategic planning session will be held for suppliers and utilities to identify points of contacts within fleet organizations and alliances. FUTURE VISION AWARD PRESENTATION Three individuals who have been influential in the nuclear industry will be honored for their vision and contribution to the nuclear industry.

3. How to attract/retain knowledgeable craft workers. Are they looking for more money or better benefits?

4. How to influence the public perception of the nuclear industry. How can the public be educated on the advantages and safety precautions taken with regard to nuclear power?

"A leader’s job is to look into the future and see the organization as it can become.”
