ECA warns of delay to DOE’s interpretation of HLW
The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA), which advocates for communities adjacent to or impacted by Department of Energy sites, is asking the department to conduct an independent analysis evaluating the impacts of delaying the implementation of its statutory interpretation of high-level radioactive waste, which holds that some waste from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel may be classified as non-HLW.
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors, fuel and nuclear services. Established in 2007, the GEH nuclear alliance was created by GE and Hitachi to serve the global nuclear industry. The alliance combines GE’s design expertise and history of delivering reactors, fuels and services with Hitachi’s proven experience in advanced modular construction.
