Consent-Based Siting Consortia : Expanding the National Conversation on Spent Nuclear Fuel

In this fifth installment of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) consent-based siting webinar series, a roundtable of panelists reflect on how to scale-up, re-think, or broaden the national dialogue on spent nuclear fuel management. Joining the discussion are journalists, energy policy experts, social media influencers, advertising specialists, a documentary filmmaker, members of communities currently hosting spent nuclear fuel facilities, and more. Together with the consent-based siting consortia, they explore how to make spent nuclear fuel topics reach new audiences and move the topics closer to the center of public discussion. Their collective insights will help inform DOE’s efforts to site one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities for commercial spent nuclear fuel.
