Consent-Based Siting: U.S. DOE Climate Action & Spent Nuclear Fuel Management
Consent-Based Siting: U.S. DOE Climate Action & Spent Nuclear Fuel Management
Nuclear energy is essential to tackling climate change. Maintaining the nation’s current fleet and deploying advanced reactors is crucial in achieving the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s ambitious goals of a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by the end of the decade, 100% clean electricity by 2035, and a net-zero economy by 2050.
However, to meet those goals, progress needs to be made in the management of spent nuclear fuel. Inaction on this issue has already cost taxpayers more than $9 billion in settlements and judgments.
Consent-Based Siting: Social Science & Nuclear Waste Management at the U.S. Department of Energy
Consent-Based Siting: Social Science & Nuclear Waste Management at the U.S. Department of Energy
Can anthropologists help the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) design a more environmentally just, participatory, and consent-based siting process for spent nuclear fuel management facilities? The DOE has committed to a consent-based approach to siting spent nuclear fuel management facilities that aims to enable broad community participation and center equity and environmental justice.
Spending Time on Spent Nuclear Fuel
Spending Time on Spent Nuclear Fuel
Making progress on the long-term management of spent nuclear fuel can be fraught with political and economic challenges, but groups within the U.S. are looking to try and tackle the challenge from many different angles. As the government ramps up efforts to support spent nuclear fuel management up to the limits of the law, ANS and others are making recommendations around, and receiving funding oriented to, pathways for progress.
