The Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) supports the use of deep geologic repositories for the safe storage and/or disposal of radioactive waste. The Act establishes procedures to evaluate and select sites for geologic repositories and for the interaction of state and federal governments. The goal of this Special Issue is to gather recent advances in the field of nuclear waste disposal. Contributions on subjects such as natural analogues for DGR concepts, radionuclide transport in surface and subsurface environments, uranium mine tailings, contaminated sites, waste matrices, and geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel are. Dec 21,  · Today, the Department of Energy is taking a critical step toward the development of a consent-based approach to siting future nuclear waste management facilities as part of a strategy for the long-term storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (CISF) – Dry cask storage at an away-from-reactor site pending disposal at a permanent disposal facility; The NRC believes spent fuel pools and dry casks both provide adequate protection of the public health and safety and the environment. Apr 05,  · Waste has been depicted as the Achilles heel of the nuclear power industry but then too has as been, safety, water, cost and lack of evacuation planning.. Essentially the industry has a lot of problems but the focus of this piece is the spent fuel. In , a committee of the International Council of Scientific Unions on the geology of nuclear waste disposal concluded that century-long interim. The role of the Nuclear Energy and Waste Program is to perform fundamental and applied Earth-sciences-related research concerning the safe, secure, and responsible use of nuclear energy, as well as the safe storage and disposal of used nuclear fuel and waste.
