After the conference it had been decided to have a short workshop on radiation safety and protection issues in uranium exploration and I was asked to talk about the role of the IAEA in this part of the uranium production cycle. It was mostly about standards development and application . The audience were all industry professionals and the debates after the papers were very good. Once the workshop was over I bade farewell to all the friends there and caught up with Didier who had been working in the hotel. We set off to have lunch with Mike at the Cornucopia resaurant at the Darwin Museum. A beautiful venue with views across the Arafura Sea and good food and service. You need to book early and get a table on the terrace!
After luch it was on to the OSS offices where we all had meetings; Didier and I with the Supervising Scientist and Mike with the National Parks peopel about the work plan for South Alligator this year.
When we finished it was 3 pm and time to put Didier on the pane back to Singapore and Europe. I had drink with my former colleagues ( it was a TGIF time ) then back to catch up with my hosts, Chris and Shirley, to have final farewell drink at the Darwin Sailing Club for a real Darwin sunset, then home to dinner and packing for my own departure.
