The ASME Presidential Task Force on Response to Japan Nuclear
Power Plant Events hosted a workshop on December 4‐5, 2012 at the
Willard Intercontinental Hotel in Washington, DC. The purpose of

dialog about the recommendations contained in the ASME Presidential
Task Force report entitled "Forging a New Nuclear Safety
Construct." The report is available at:

In attendance at the New Nuclear Safety Construct (NNSC)
workshop were 125 of the world's most influential decision‐makers
and leaders with representation from 20 countries. The ASME task
force designed a series of sessions to address many of the key
recommendations and topics from the task force report. Sessions
were aimed at getting more focused dialog on key elements of the
report and its recommendations. Session objectives were stated at
the beginning of each session in order to allow participants to
cover complex topics in narrow windows of time with efficiency and
focus.
