Spent Fuel Solutions will hold a webinar Oct. 22 with the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) Back-End Working Group Chair Rod Baltzer to discuss the organization’s national waste management policy paper.
The Wednesday webinar will be from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Pacific Time and can be viewed via Zoom.
USNIC’s action plan “Action Plan for Transforming the Back End of the U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle” was published on June 13. The policy paper provides an outline for providing permanent disposal of the country’s high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel.
Baltzer, who is also CEO of the California-based nuclear disposal company Deep Isolation, has publicly praised the plan and said it is an actionable plan that can help the United States “break through decades of paralysis on waste disposal”.
