A year of Reactor n Meetings • Besides 3 IWG meetings • APS study kickoff/final meetings Dec/June • 2 APS Reactor Working Group meetings Feb/May • “US Meeting for a Future Neutrino Observatory at Reactors” at San Luis Obispo March • US/UK meeting June • 2 hour meeting at n 2004 June • 2 workshops in China Nov/Jan • Collaboration meetings of midwest group, CHOOZ, etc. • The meeting I didn’t know about?
Future of the International Working Group • We didn’t need a 1.5 day meeting in Paris this June. • It isn’t really one group. It’s several collaborations • Assuming more than one collaboration forms, continued meetings are useful, • But not more than once per year.

My viewConclusion at Niigata Workshop • We need Double CHq13q13Z It’s a good opportunity to get going quickly and we’d be crazy not to take it. • We need more than Double CHq13q13Z It doesn’t cover the reasonably accessible range of parameter space.
A Thought on Future International Cooperation in Reactor n experiments “National Experiments” • Braidwood • CHOOZ • Diablo Canyon • KASKA “International” • Angra • Daya Bay • Krasnoyarsk more difficult May be naïve…
Conclusion • The International Working Group isn’t alive and it isn’t dead. • It’s there and could be put to use for a good purpose.
