How is DOE using Consent-Based Siting? How can people and communities participate?
Consent-Based Siting Process for Federal Consolidated Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel
This 2023 document describes the U.S. DOE roadmap for implementing a consent-based siting process to site one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel.
Getting to the Core of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: From the mining of uranium to the disposal of nuclear waste
This brochure shortly describes the various steps of the nuclear fuel cycle by covering areas from mining and milling to disposal of spent fuel and other radioactive waste.
Disposition of High-Level Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel: The Continuing Societal and Technical Challenges
There has been, for decades, a worldwide consensus in the nuclear technical community for disposal through geological isolation of high-level waste (HLW), including spent nuclear fuel (SNF). However, none of the national programs established to implement geological disposal has yet succeeded in establishing a geological repository and emplacing HLW in it. The large and growing HLW inventory from civilian and military reactor use over nearly 60 years remains in surface facilities intended only for interim storage.
