Overview
A grant to the Bipartisan Policy Center would allow the Center to bring together Department of Energy officials, congressional staff, and energy experts to develop a consensus about how the United States should store its nuclear waste for the long term. Permanently storing the country’s nuclear waste in one secure facility would reduce the dangers of having it dispersed at reactor sites.
