摘要

A poll commissioned by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) shows a large majority of Americans favor development of a permanent repository and consolidated storage facilities and creating a new organization to oversee used fuel activities. The Bisconti/Quest Global Research poll says 84 percent of respondents agreed that the United States "should retool its program for managing spent nuclear fuel rods from nuclear power plants to focus on consolidating the fuel rods at storage centers while the nation develops a permanent disposal facility."
