Storing nuclear waste is essential to nuclear energy production. Commercial nuclear power plants generate high-level, radioactive waste composed of “spent” uranium or plutonium fuel no longer capable of efficiently producing electricity. This waste is known as spent nuclear fuel (SNF). SNF poses significant technical, regulatory, and political challenges for its safe storage. The current challenge, however, is that neither Consolidated Interim Storage Facilities nor a permanent repository exists in the U.S., so nuclear power plants must indefinitely store SNF onsite.
