Geological Problems in Radioactive Waste Isolation Second Worldwide Review Part 1 Ch 1 - 9
Geological Problems in Radioactive Waste Isolation Second Worldwide Review Part 1 Ch 1 - 9
The first world wide review of the geological problems in radioactive waste isolation was published by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1991. This review was a compilation of reports that had been submitted to a workshop held in conjunction with the 28th International Geological Congress that took place July 9-19,1989 in Washington, D.C.

Letter to Honoarable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, and Honorable David Dewhust, Lieutenant Governor, on challenges of spent nuclear fuel management at 6 Texas nuclear reactors
Letter to Honoarable Joe Straus, Speaker of the House, and Honorable David Dewhust, Lieutenant Governor, on challenges of spent nuclear fuel management at 6 Texas nuclear reactors
In this letter, Governor Perry requests that the Texas legislature develop a solution for the management of spent nuclear fuel within Texas, since current federal plans for spent nuclear fuel disposal are not credible. The report by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which summarizes spent nuclear fuel management in the US, is attached to the letter as a reference resource.
Assessment of Texas's High Level Radioactivew Waste Storage Options
Assessment of Texas's High Level Radioactivew Waste Storage Options
In this report, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality provides a concise history of spent nuclear fuel management in the US, briefly discussing disposal and transportation but focusing mostly on storage. The current status of NRC efforts to evaluate issues related to storage are mentioned. The report also describes the waste storage situation at the relatively young 4 nuclear reactor units at 2 sites in Texas and the two small research reactors at the University of Texas and Texas A&M.
Letter from Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant
Letter from Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant
Governor Bryant sent a letter to Pete Lyons, Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy regarding the state hosting a geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel as an alternative to the Yucca Mountain repository . Although some communities may have expressed interest to DOE, Governor Bryant is opposed to hosting a repository and asks DOE to consider any state other than Mississippi.
DOE letter responding to Governor Bryant of Mississippi
DOE letter responding to Governor Bryant of Mississippi
Pete Lyons, Assistant Secretary of Nuclear Energy DOE, responds to the letter by Governor Bryant of Mississippi by noting that a consent-based approach to siting will require achieving acceptance at multiple levels of government: local, state and tribal. Consultation and cooperation will be required to successfully site a disposal system. DOE will be mindful of Governor Bryant's opposition to siting a disposal system in Mississippi.

Nuclear Waste Management Organization Newsletter Volume 12, Issue 2, 2014
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization of Canada published a newsletter in the summer of 2014 discussing the status of the process for selecting a site for disposal of the country's spent nuclear fuel, along with other items.
Summary of National and International Radioactive Waste Management Programs 1979
Summary of National and International Radioactive Waste Management Programs 1979
Many nations and international agencies are working to develop improved technology and industrial capability for nuclear fuel cycle and waste management operations. The effort in some countries is limited to research in university laboratories on treating low-level waste from reactor plant operations.
