Legislation recently introduced in the Senate to create a pathway for the safe and permanent disposal of the nation's stockpiles of spent nuclear fuel from sites across the country. The bill, the Nuclear Waste Administration Act (NWAA) of 2019 (S. 1234), would establish an independent agency, the Nuclear Waste Administration, to manage the country's nuclear waste program in place of the Department of Energy (DOE).
