The Administration’s Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future will discuss potential updates to its draft recommendations at a meeting Friday, including whether or not to revisit the decision to comingle civilian and defense waste. The panel, which has final recommendations to the Department of Energy due in January, released a draft report in July followed by a string of public meetings around the country in an effort to gather comments. As a result of strong feedback on the issue, the panel formed a subcommittee in November to consider the possibility of reversing the 1985 executive decision to comingle defense and civilian nuclear waste. Both waste streams were destined for disposal in Yucca Mountain until the Administration shut down the repository. The comingling group is set to present its findings at Friday’s meeting, scheduled to start at 9 a.m. at the J.W. Marriot in Washington, D.C. Also on the agenda are proposed revisions from the BRC’s three subcommittees; transportation, disposal, and reactor and fuel cycle technology.
