AbstractAbstract
[en] An audio recording of an address by Chief Stanley Stephens and Deputy-Chief Ken Neegan of the Constance Lake First Nation, at the Renewable Energy Commercial Trade Show and Markets Conference was presented. The speech concerned development of a 15 MW hydro project on the reservation. Stephens recalled how initial opposition was overcome by addressing simple misconceptions about the project. The project was initiated by the Ontario Energy Corporation with a series of community discussions which addressed environmental impacts, and benefits that would result from the project. Neegan explained that after deliberation and negotiations, the Constance Lake First Nation was pleased with the project. This project was evidence that sound partnership could be formed between First Nations and hydro developers, while preserving respect for 'Mother Earth' in the process. Trust between the community, the developers and government was considered to be the critical component of the project. Sound legal, technical, environmental and financial information was also indispensable in allowing the Constance Lake First Nation to make its decision to proceed with the project

AbstractAbstract
[en] Sixty-nine patients are presented in whom a substantial error was made on the initial abdominal computed tomography report. Certain features of these errors have been analysed. In 30 (43.5%) a lesion was simply not recognised (error of observation); in 39 (56.5%) the wrong conclusions were drawn about the nature of normal or abnormal structures (error of interpretation). The 39 errors of interpretation were more complex; in 7 patients an abnormal structure was noted but interpreted as normal, whereas in four a normal structure was thought to represent a lesion. Other interpretive errors included those where the wrong cause for a lesion had been ascribed (24 patients), and those where the abnormality was substantially under-reported (4 patients). Various features of these errors are presented and discussed. Errors were made just as often in relation to small and large lesions. Consultants made as many errors as senior registrar radiologists. It is like that dual reporting is the best method of avoiding such errors and, indeed, this is widely practised in our unit. (Author). 9 refs.; 5 figs.; 1 tab

AbstractAbstract
[en] A range of digital technologies are mature and well-proven on nuclear licensed sites around the world. Reality capture, which includes the use of satellite data, 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry and unmanned aerial vehicles, is considered a foundational technology that can unlock a range of innovative approaches. These approaches include digital design delivery, immersive visualization and information management. To drive greater adoption of these technologies, transformation of project delivery in the nuclear industry is required. Adoption of these technologies can bring significant benefits, with the potential for cost reduction and schedule improvement throughout the project delivery lifecycle. This covers the extent of the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning and quality assurance steps required across every project. By adopting digital approaches early on in the project delivery phase,design and construction is improved, incorporation of offsite and modular fabrication is enabled and overall market and competitive challenges can be addressed.
