Options for the Consolidated Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

This issue brief is one in a series being developed by the Bipartisan
Policy Center’s Nuclear Waste Initiative, which is exploring ways
to advance progress toward durable solutions for managing and
disposing of the nation’s inventory of spent nuclear fuel and highlevel
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
plants. It is based on a longer analysis prepared for the Bipartisan

Community
