US Nuclear Used Fuel Strategy Conference

Develop an integrated used fuel strategy that is safe, minimizes cost, and ensures compliance with latest regulations

The US has generated over 75,000 metric tones of used fuel and HLW at 80 sites in 35 states. Of the $35.8 billion committed to the nuclear waste fund, $10.8 billion has already been spent without an effective solution for ultimate disposal. The Nuclear Used Fuel Strategy Conference will provide crucial insight and understanding that is fundamental in order to implement the best future strategy.
