About This Webinar

Simon Morgan will explain the work of a nuclear safety regulator based on his time working in the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) in the UK. He will also describe the role of the Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA) and in particular its Working Group on Waste & Decommissioning (WGWD) which he has chaired for several years. WGWD develops and maintains Safety Reference Levels which the 19 members of WENRA have committed to implement and track in their regulatory frameworks. SRLs are the basis for regulatory harmonisation across WENRA members, and reflect exemplary levels of safety in all aspects of the design, commissioning, operation and decommissioning of operating nuclear power plants, waste facilities and research reactors.

EuroGeoSurveys is a Belgian-based not-for-profit member association representing 37 national geological survey organisations. Some of those survey organisations are actively engaged in activities related to geological storage of radioactive waste and all are engaged in subsurface mapping and modelling that is required as the basis for such work. EU-level legislative developments in recent years that have brought into focus the importance of a cross-disciplinary and collaborative approach to geological mapping and modelling of the subsurface. This collaborative cross-disciplinary approach to understanding the geological subsurface is central to EuroGeoSurveys’ flagship EU-funded project – the Geological Service for Europe project (GSEU). GSEU delivers harmonised pan-European data across diverse geoscientific thematic areas including mineral raw materials, groundwater, storage (carbon dioxide, hydrogen), geothermal energy potential, standards for geological mapping and modelling, offshore mapping for wind farm siting, and a data infrastructure – the European Geological Data Infrastructure. EuroGeoSurveys also supports pan-European geoscientific expert groups in additional thematic areas (earth observation, geohazards, geoheritage, urban geology, geochemistry, geophysics).

Simon Morgan

MSc.
Simon has an MA from the University of Cambridge in Natural Sciences, specialising in Chemistry. Since 2012 Simon has worked in nuclear safety regulation in the ONR in the UK, and has been nominated site inspector for 6 of the UK’s nuclear licensed sites at Berkeley, Oldbury, Hinkley Point A, Imperial College, GE Healthcare Amersham and GE Healthcare Cardiff. Simon was Deputy Professional Lead for Nuclear Liabilities Regulation within the ONR and has represented the UK at the IAEA’s Waste Safety Standards Committee (WASSC). Simon chairs WENRA’s Working Group on Waste & Decommissioning and is a member of the Nuclear Waste Safety Committee of STUK, the Finnish nuclear and radiation safety regulator. Prior to that, Simon has been a regulatory manager within the UK’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and in Nirex on implementation of geological disposal. Simon also has many years experience in safety and environmental consultancy, was an inspector and team leader in the Environment Agency in England and Wales, and started his career in the UK Government’s Civil Service Fast Stream.

Ali Awada

I am a chemical engineer with a double academic background in industrial chemistry, petrochemical engineering, and green chemistry. I began my career working on the chemical treatment of non-conforming radioactive waste, where I developed and optimized laboratory-scale processes to bring chemically complex waste streams into compliance with acceptance criteria.
Since 2023, I have been working at newcleo on waste- and fuel-cycle-related topics, including effluent behavior, feasibility of specific treatments and waste-management strategies. My profile combines practical laboratory experience with a growing understanding of the fuel cycle, enabling me to contribute a complementary, process-oriented perspective within the EURAD-2 External Advisory Board.
