I’m just back from an assignment in Riyadh where I had been invited to present lectures on radioactive waste management at a Radiation Protection and Safety post-graduate course run by the Saudi nuclear regulatory commission (NRRC) and supported by IAEA.

I had the pleasure of meeting some great students - both men and women - from medical, oil and gas, radioactive source manufacture sectors as well as the nascent nuclear sector. What a great bunch of students - enthusiastic, interested and engaged - just what a lecturer hopes for!
