Overview
Secretary of Energy Chu established the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future (BRC) in 2010 to review policies for managing the "back end" of the nuclear fuel cycle, the shipping of spent fuel to away-from-reactor storage or to a reprocessing plant and the final disposal of the spent fuel or the reprocessed high level waste, and recommend a new plan. Funding for the Nuclear Threat Initiative would allow it to develop specific guidance to build the report recommendations into a plan of action, which would be used to reach out to decision-makers and stakeholders, enabling them to put in place a national nuclear waste management program.
