The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has issued its final "Supplement to the
U.S. Department of Energy's Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the
Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain,
Nye County, Nevada," NUREG-2184. This document is available in the NRC's Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML 16125A032. On
May 13, 2016, the NRC will announce in the Federal Register the availability of this document.

The purpose of this report is to research and document the dry storage design criteria for the cask systems currently storing or planned for storage of UNF and GTCC at from permanently shutdown reactor sites by 2019. The design criteria for the ISFSIs and storage systems storing shutdown reactor UNF and GTCC waste are documented in the licensing basis documents applicable to the ISFSI or cask system, based on the type of Part 72 license being used.
The Clinch River MRS Task Force was appointed in July 1985 by the Roane County Executive and the Oak Ridge City Council to evaluate the Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility proposed by the Department of Energy to be constructed in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge. After several months of study, numerous public meetings, site visits to relevant facilities, and careful evaluation of the integrated MRS concept, it is the considered opinion of the Task Force that the facility could be safely built and operated in Roane County/Oak Ridge.
In response to Section 141 of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the Department of Energy hereby submits a proposal for the construction of a facility for monitored retrievable storage (MRS). The approval of this proposal by the Congress would specifically --

"This study analyzes what would be required to retain nuclear power as a significant option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting growing needs for electricity supply. Our analysis is guided by a global growth scenario that would expand current worldwide nuclear generating capacity almost threefold, to 1000 billion watts, by the year 2050. Such a deployment would avoid 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon emissions annually from coal plants, about 25% of the increment in carbon emissions otherwise expected in a business-as-usual scenario.
"In 2003 MIT published the interdisciplinary study The Future of Nuclear Power. The underlying motivation was that nuclear energy, which today provides about 70% of the “zero”-carbon electricity in the U.S., is an important option for the market place in a low-carbon world. Since that report, major changes in the U.S. and the world have taken place as described in our 2009 Update of the 2003 Future of Nuclear Power Report. Concerns about climate change have risen: many countries have adopted restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, and the U.S.
"Nuclear power has long been controversial; consequently, the debate about its reemergence requires a fresh assessment of the facts about the technology, its economics and regulatory oversight, and the risks and benefits of its expansion. In the past year, the Keystone Center assembled a group of 27 individuals (see the Endorsement page for a list of Participants) with extensive experience and unique perspectives to develop a joint understanding of the “facts” and for an objective interpretation of the most credible information in areas where uncertainty persists.
This document contains policy recommendations related to energy developed by the National Commission on Energy Policy, a project of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington DC based think tank. Topics covered include Fossil Fuel resource security, climate change, energy efficiency, nuclear energy and renewables.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management prepared this document to report plans for the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program, whose mission is to manage and dispose of the nation’s spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste in a manner that protects the health and safety of the public and of workers and the quality of the environment. The Congress established this program through the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (see Appendix A), though efforts to solve the waste-disposal problem go back several decades.
This written testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee discusses the storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel. This entry has a PDF printout of the <a href="http://www.energy.gov/articles/secretary-moniz-s-written-testimony-sena… webpage</a>.
Since the DOE developed the MRS proposal for the Congress, a number of questions have been raised by the General Accounting Office (GAO), the State of Tennessee, and others concerning the need for the MRS facility and the feasibility of achieving comparable performance for the overall waste—management system without an MRS facility. This report was prepared to provide additional information to address these questions.
This document is the result of a three year study performed by a think tank group, the National Commission on Energy Policy. It provides energy policy recommendations that include recommendations regarding nuclear power.
A summary in the Federal Register regarding the first NRC review of the 1984 Waste Confidence Rule.
This is a section of the Federal Budget for 2015.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is revising its generic determination regarding the environmental impacts of the continued storage of spent nuclear fuel beyond a reactor’s licensed life for operation and prior to ultimate disposal. The NRC prepared a final generic environmental impact statement that provides a regulatory basis for this final rule. The Commission concludes that the generic environmental impact statement generically determines the environmental impacts of continued storage of spent nuclear fuel beyond the licensed life for operation of a reactor.
This Project Decision Schedule (PDS) is a legislative mandate of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended (NWPA).
The Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste is a framework for moving toward a sustainable program to deploy an integrated system capable of transporting, storing, and disposing of used nuclear fuel1 and high-level radioactive waste from civilian nuclear power generation, defense, national security and other activities.
By letter dated April 28, 2016, Waste Control Specialists, LLC (WCS) submitted a specific
license application under 10 CFR Part 72 requesting authorization to construct and operate a
Consolidated Interim Storage Facility for Spent Nuclear Fuel and Reactor-Related Greater Than
Class C Low-Level Waste in Andrews County, Texas. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) performed an acceptance review of the application to determine if the application
contains sufficient technical information to allow the NRC staff to complete the detailed technical
WCS Presentation slides for NRC meeting held 8-22-16 to discuss the status of responses to NRC Requests for Supplemental Information.
From the Introduction: "Our strategy for development of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) transportation program is to collaborate with our stakeholders.
