FY11 ANA Budget Analysis

|
 |
The topic of what to do with spent nuclear fuel is ripe for debate. Commercial utilities, the Department of Energy, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission all have important legal and moral obligations to responsibly manage the waste that's been produced in the past six decades.
Several proposals for dealing with spent nuclear fuel have been pursued since the dawn of the nuclear age. ANA's perspectives on some of the more relevant proposals can be found below.
