Editor's Note:

This EM Update issue focuses on EM’s participation in the 2024 Waste Management Symposia, the premier international conference for radioactive waste management and related topics held March 10-14 in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference, which marks its 50th anniversary in 2024, saw a record attendance this year with more than 3,300 attendees. That compares with the 200 participants in the first Waste Management conference organized by the University of Arizona in 1974 as an independent forum for discussing high-level waste issues at the Hanford Site.
