I am pleased to welcome the members of the American Nuclear Society to New Orleans. Duringyour conference, you will be discussing ways nuclear technology can lead to global economicgrowth while safeguarding the environment. That is a noble goal as our country gears up for agreater 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 manyother distinct neighborhoods. Use the streetcar to see the majesty of the homes in the GardenDistrict on the way to our world-renowned Audubon Zoo. Visit the 200-year-old plantation homesalong Bayou St. John that lead you to the doorstep of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the lushgardens of City Park.
In the heart of our business district the “New Downtown” has sprung up, bordered by the RiverwalkMarketplace at the Riverfront, and the New Orleans Centre, a regional shopping mall at theSuperdome. 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 fromNew Orleans, but for visitors as well. We know that having welcomed you once, we will welcomeyou again.

Growth While Safeguarding the Environment”
“New Orleans has been bestowed with many titles inher lifetime: “Paris of the Americas,” “The City ThatCare Forgot,” “The Big Easy.” And given her rich,diverse history, it’s easy to see why. Founded in 1718by the French aristocrat Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne,Sieur de Bienville, she is a tremendous, sensuous citysteeped in tradition, superstition and romance. Thisundisputed “Queen of the Mississippi” is also one ofthe most popular convention and meeting destinationsin the United States.”
Old World charm, urban excitement, rural tranquility:New Orleans is a city of great geographic diversity.
The French QuarterFounded in 1718, The French Quarter is one of theoldest and most extraordinary neighborhoods in theUnited States. People often refer to it as the “heart”of New Orleans. And with good reason: Many of thecity’s attractions can be found within this vibrantenclave of hotels, clubs, shops and restaurants.Here, you’ll find a number of historic sites, includingJackson Square, the public plaza named in honor ofGeneral Andrew Jackson, and the Cabildo, site of thesigning of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase Transfer.The Quarter is also home to Bourbon Street, theworld-renowned “playground of the South.”
The Central Business DistrictThe Central Business District is located adjacent tothe French Quarter. This section of downtown boastsa wide range of attractions: the Louisiana Superdome;Riverwalk Marketplace; and the Aquarium of theAmericas, to name a few.
The Garden DistrictThis primarily residential neighborhood occupies asection of town located between St. Charles Avenueand Magazine Street. The Garden District is bestknown for its stunning antebellum homes and opulentgardens, many of which date back to the mid-1800s.
UptownWest of the Garden District lies Uptown. Uptownencompasses several commercial and residentialquarters, including Audubon Park, a lush, 340-acresanctuary for the students of Loyola University andTulane. Audubon Park also contains the Audubon Zoo,a habitat for more than 1,500 animal species.
LakefrontNew Orleans is bordered on the north by LakePontchartrain; the area above the French Quarter isknown as “lakeside.” Named after its early NativeAmerican inhabitants, Lake Pontchartrain is a year-round haven for boaters, swimmers, fisherman andpicnickers. Along its banks, you’ll find an array ofrecreational hot-spots, including the Old Spanish Fort,an 18th-century fortress-turned-resort area, and WestEnd, a cluster of delectable seafood restaurants andyacht clubs along Lakeshore Drive.

An unclassified scenario will be used as a vehicle for highlighting key security issues and providing each of the panel participants an opportunity to discuss theirparticular areas of expertise. The program will be based on an unclassified scenario and an initial setting of an increase in the national threat level with a subsequentterrorist attack against a nuclear power plant. The workshop will use the scenario as a vehicle to set the stage for the panel of role players who will deal withvarious issues and challenges at the local and the national level. The scenario may include some or all of the following major activities: Aircraft, Spent fuel pools,Dry casks, Cyber terrorism, and Radiological dispersal devices. The workshop will involve three phases:
• Phase 1 — An increase in security to condition red, where various liaison, preparations, and increases in security actions will be discussed• Phase 2 — An attack on a facility, where the panel will discuss their various roles and response actions• Phase 3 — Open discussion with audience for Q&A and comments.

DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety ProgramFriday, November 21, 2003 • 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. • Location: Regency D
Purpose:The US Department of Energy Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) was initiated in response to DNFSB Recommendation 97-2, "Continuation of CriticalitySafety". The NCSP is a comprehensive, crosscutting program that integrates the need to maintain the US criticality safety infrastructure with effective support forcriticality safety programs throughout the DOE complex. During the morning session, representatives of DOE management, the DNFSB Chairman, and a DNFSBFacility Representative will discuss the status of criticality safety in the Department. A speaker from the NRC will discuss the use of the NCSP products by NRClicensees and the potential impact of regulatory changes on the oversight of criticality safety. The program elements of the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program willbe addressed (status report). The afternoon session is a forum for interactions led by members of the End-Users Group. This session is open to anyone interestedin a discussion of criticality safety from the practitioner’s point of view. This Friday special session, while not part of the official ANS program, has been arrangedthrough the courtesy of the ANS Headquarters staff. The presentations are based on the DOE NCS Program, but because of the global application of the worksupported by the DOE NCSP, feedback is encouraged from anyone interested in the needs of a diverse, well-organized criticality safety program. International, NRCand licensee criticality safety personnel are encouraged to attend. Extensive audience participation is anticipated.
