Spent Fuel Storage Requirements 1991-2040
Spent Fuel Storage Requirements 1991-2040
Historical inventories of spent fuel are combined with U.S Department of Energy (DOE) projections of future discharges from commercial nuclear reactors in the United States to provide estimates of spent fuel storage requirements over the next 50 years, through the year 2040. The needs for storage capacity beyond that presently available in the pools are estimated. These estimates incorporate the maximum capacities within current-and planned in-pool storage facilities and any planned transshipments of fuel to ther reactors or, facilities.
WHITE PAPER Regarding OPPOSITION TO THE HIGH-LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE FACILITY Proposed By PRIVATE FUEL STORAGE On The SKULL VALLEY BAND OF GOSHUTE INDIAN RESERVATION SKULL VALLEY, UTAH
WHITE PAPER Regarding OPPOSITION TO THE HIGH-LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE FACILITY Proposed By PRIVATE FUEL STORAGE On The SKULL VALLEY BAND OF GOSHUTE INDIAN RESERVATION SKULL VALLEY, UTAH
There are no nuclear power plants in Utah. Despite that, Utah is targeted to be the site of the largest facility ever licensed for storage of spent nuclear fuel rods (high-level nuclear waste) from nuclear power plants. This proposed site would store up to 40,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel. The storage of this amount of waste in one location is equivalent to all the commercial spent nuclear fuel rods in the United States. The Federal government has responsibility for permanently storing this high-level nuclear waste, but after 18 years, it has missed the deadline.

Options for Developing Public and Stakeholder Engagement for the Storage and Management of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and High Level Waste (HLW) in the United States
This report puts forth a number of options and recommendations for how to engage stakeholders and other members of the public in the storage and management of spent nuclear fuel and high level waste in the United States. The options are generated from a scientific review of existing publications proposing criteria for assessing past efforts to engage publics and stakeholders in decision-making about risky technologies.

Geological Problems in Radioactive Waste Isolation Second Worldwide Review Part 2 Ch 10 - 17
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.

Disposal and Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel--Finding the Right Balance, A report to Congress and the Secretary of Energy
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, established a statutory basis<br/>for managing the nation’s civilian (or commercially produced) spent nuclear<br/>fuel. The law established a process for siting, developing, licensing, and constructing<br/>an underground repository for the permanent disposal of that waste.<br/>Utilities were given the primary responsibility for storing spent fuel until it is<br/>accepted by the federal government for disposal at a repository, which originally<br/>was expected to begin operating in 1998.
