Barrasso Wants Advanced Nuclear Fuel, DOE Reports on Rad Waste Costs

摘要

Pending legislation from Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) would require the Department of Energy to each year account for continuing and anticipated costs for management of the nation’s growing inventory of radioactive waste. The American Nuclear Infrastructure Act of 2020 contains a series of measures intended to sustain the United States’ existing nuclear power fleet and uranium production industry, along with promoting development of advanced nuclear technologies, in the face of global competition from China and Russia.
