AT WM'05: BIRTHDAY CAKE? GO FOR IT!

If you're attending the upcoming Waste Management Symposium 2005 (February 27-March 3, Convention Center, Tucson, Arizona), we hope to see you there.

In fact, we're hoping you'll be there for the opening events in the exhibit hall on Sunday night from 5 to 8 pm. We'll be serving birthday cake to all attendees as part of our celebration of our first decade of operations.

So when you're offered a slice of cake, please - go for it!

The Waste Management Symposium is the nuclear waste industry's premier annual event. Thousands of government and industry leaders, plus vendors from around the world, gather to learn, network, showcase - and yes, have a bit of fun along the way.

We're helping out on all those fronts.

This year's gathering will be the 32nd annual conference. It will focus on "Global Accomplishments in Environmental and Radioactive Waste Management: Cost Effectiveness, Risk Reduction & Technology Implementation."
