This issue brief is one in a series being developed by the Bipartisan
Policy Center’s Nuclear Waste Initiative, which is exploring ways

radioactive waste. This brief focuses on options for moving
forward with the development of one or more facilities for the
consolidated storage of spent fuel from commercial nuclear power
