Participation by industry, academia, government, and international personnel is encouraged to foster cooperation in finding solutions to these challenges. Papers are solicited for a global exchange of technical information and ideas on demilitarization, disposal, and resource recovery and recycling (R3). This forum will focus on the application of solutions to this global challenge.
