POSTER SESSIONS Be sure to visit the technical posters on display throughout the day. Posters are located on the first floor with the technical sessions. In this informal atmosphere, Poster Presenters become discussion leaders sharing their ideas and visions. Each technical track presents a poster session; see the session descriptions for more information. The WM2011 posters will be displayed approximately 3-1/2 hours and authors are scheduled to be at the booths for one 30-minute period and one 60-minute period. In order to honor high quality presentations at WM2011, the American Nuclear Society (ANS) presents an award for the Best Poster/Paper and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) provides an award for the runner–up. Judges select the poster/paper based on technical quality and preparation of the work as described in the guidelines. Attendee forms for judging posters will also be available in the area and must be turned in one hour before the session ends. Each track selects the best poster/paper which are then displayed and re-judged on Wednesday afternoon for the Best and Second Best of the conference. The Best and Second Best in the conference for WM2011 are presented to the recipients at the next WM conference, WM2012. The "Best Poster Awards" from last year will be presented at the Honors & Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, March 1, 2011.
