Feedback sought on Consent-Based Siting Allowing Reactors to Move Waste

摘要

After decades of pressure from the nuclear industry and host communities, the U.S. Department of Energy has set a meeting to discuss a plan to allow commercial reactors to get rid of the 70,000 metric tons of nuclear spent fuel now on their sites. The proposal would move the fuel to interim storage facilities built in areas willing to take the radioactive waste.
