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.
