NRC staffers hold a meeting on board the Nuclear Ship Savannah, docked in Baltimore, to accept public comments on the vessel’s License Termination Plan. The hybrid session is the first time the NRC has conducted a public meeting aboard a seagoing vessel. As the Savannah nears the end of a multi-year decommissioning process, the U.S. Maritime Administration submitted the termination plan for NRC review. It spells out how the final steps will be carried out, including thorough checks for any residual radioactivity. The Savannah was defueled in 1971 and its reactor vessel removed at the end of 2022.

Steve Musgrave is a PhD research student involved in Telematic research into Community Portals. He is a full time IT Manager at Blackpool and the Fylde College in Lancashire. Formerly a merchant navy Radio/Electronics Officer and design engineer with IMR/ITT. Beyond the professional qualifications he holds a B.Sc (Hons) in Electronics with Computing; an MSc in Information Technology and a post graduate Diploma in Management of Education. With a strong background in the Further Education sector as a Principal Lecturer and Head of Division of Communication Engineering, he transferred to a position in IT Management with Blackpool and The Fylde College to develop and implement a unified college-wide electronic network interlinking the campus sites, buildings and outreach centres. Implementation of a Virtual Learning Environment is currently on-going. Direct personal experience of managing multi-million pound IT projects has been gained through project management of Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) projects, notably the ICT centred 'Regional Open System for Education' project and SIGMA projects, giving network inter/intra connectivity between Colleges in a virtual private network. Recent experience of Community Portal planning, design and implementation has arisen through the partnership of Blackpool Borough Council, Blackpool and The Fylde College, and Telewest, in feasibility studies and planning of a 'Broadband Interactive Grid' public sector Community Network strategy for the Fylde Coast of Lancashire. Representation at national level includes membership of the JISC Information Environment Committee (JCIE) and NILTA Technical Committee. Steve gave a plenary talk on Community Portals - A False Dawn Over The Field of Dreams?.

David Supple is manager of the Corporate Web team at the University of Birmingham and manager of the University's Institutional Portal Project. His teams remit is the development of the site to facilitate the e-business and e-learning aims of the institution, and the delivery of a Web-enabled organisational vision. In real terms this means the re-corporatization of the University Web site, through a focussed Web strategy, common infrastructures and templates, centralised hardware, adequate support and a customer focussed internal sales process to help convince users to migrate back to the centre. The Web Team uses mostly Microsoft products (a challenge in itself), with occasional forays into MySQL and Unix just to keep us sane. Over the coming year, David's focus will be on developing a major portal environment for the University, something that has been in planning for almost 2 years now, and he is keen to engage with the HE community on this new type of development to help maximise the potential of this technology. David is also interested in Web strategy in general and the development of organisational structures and processes as they respond to a more electronic view of the world. David Supple gave a plenary talk on Web Strategies: Bridging a Continent.
