Session Chair:
Todd Allen (UMich)
As the attention and interest in nuclear energy grows globally, renewed discussions around nuclear waste management and the opportunities therein are beginning to take place. With little progress made resolving founded and unfounded concerns around nuclear waste, the playing field seems almost cleared and the opportunity for multiple parallel approaches for success seem to be on the table. From community engagement, to recycling, to existing success around other forms of nuclear waste management, the conversation around nuclear waste has many different angles and this panel aims to illustrate some of those.
