  Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
  No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
  All devices were plugged in by the chimney with care

Recommendations on Postclosure Aspects of Generic Standards for the Permanent Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Wastes in the U.S.

April 5, 2023|12:00–1:00PM (1:00–2:00PM EDT)

Available to All Users

This presentation featured a discussion on a new set of recommendations from the ANS Special Committee on Generic Standards for Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Waste. The Special Committee developed a set of recommendations and observations on postclosure generic disposal standards that are protective of public health, safety, and the environment; consistent with international best practices; and implementable through established licensing processes. The Special Committee plans to finalize the report later in 2023, after consideration of stakeholder input.
