Abstract

Dear Secretary Chu:
At the direction of the President, you charged the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s
Nuclear Future with reviewing policies for managing the back end of the nuclear fuel
cycle and recommending a new plan. We thank you for choosing us to serve as Co-
Chairmen of the Commission and for selecting the talented and dedicated set of
Commissioners with whom we serve.
We have sought to ensure that our review is comprehensive, open and inclusive. The
Commission and its subcommittees have heard from hundreds of individuals and
organizations on a wide range of issues through formal hearings, site visits, and written
letters and comments submitted through the Commission web site. We have visited
several communities across the country that have a keen interest in the matters before
the Commission. We have also visited a number of other countries to gain insights as to
how the United States might proceed. We are indebted to the many people who have
offered us their expertise, advice and guidance.
