WESTERN BRANCH

c/o. Central Electricity Generating Board Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories Berkeley Gloucestershire GL13 9PB

Dear Delegate,

On behalf of the organising committee may I welcome you to the third BNES Western Branch Symposium on Reactor Inspection. We have made a few changes to the format of the symposium this time - in particular, the meeting is now spread over two days and we have introduced a conference dinner. We hope that both these changes will provide a greater opportunity for discussion outside the formal sessions and more time to view the exhibition of inpection equipment.

We are very pleased that Dr. Bryan Edmondson, President of the BNES, has agreed to open the meeting and that Dr. Roy Nichols, Head of Laboratories at RNPDL, will be our Guest of Honour at the Conference dinner.
