With the lack of political progress on a repository for HLW, this panel will take the opportunity to focus on the waste streams the U.S. nuclear complex (industry + government) does have waste disposal solutions for and will provide the current status of these disposal facilities. Hopefully through this discussion, the path towards success for a HLW repository will become evident. In addition, an update on the current status of the HLW repository program in the U.S. will be provided.
