Description

At reactor spent fuel storage capacity must be expanded between now and the projected availability of geologic repositories and/or monitored retrievable storage facilities. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA) charges the Department of Energy with the responsibility for encouraging and expediting new techniques for storing spent fuel at reactor sites. This briefly recounts the assignments of responsibility under NWPA and describes the concepts being pursued by the Department of Energy and its partners and why they may offer attractive alternatives provided they can be licensed in a timely manner
