Report: New recommendations for nuclear waste
Today, a bipartisan group of experts including energy consultant Lake Barrett and former NRC chair Allison Macfarlane have published a report titled The Path Forward for Nuclear Waste in the U.S.
The report recommends a new solution for managing domestic nuclear waste—one that centers around the foundation of an independent corporation led by reactor owners. Responsibility for waste management transport, storage, and disposal would be managed by this corporation rather than the Department of Energy.

Deploying Sustainable Nuclear Fuel Cycles
Chicago, IL|Westin Chicago River North
Global is a series of international conferences covering whole aspects of nuclear technology including the front end and back end of the fuel cycle and reactor systems. The conference is a forum for the discussion of the scientific, technical, social, and regulatory aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle. Topics include advanced nuclear fuel cycles, advanced reactors, novel uses of nuclear technology, fuel and waste management, safety, safeguards and nonproliferation, security (both physical and cyber), economics, institutional and legal aspects, consent-based siting, environmental remediation and decommissioning, and workforce training. The conference will appeal to an international audience as an opportunity to share information across programmatic, disciplinary, and international boundaries. Intended participants and audiences include personnel working on all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle. The theme of the 2026 Global Conference is “Deploying Sustainable Nuclear Fuel Cycles.” With the many new developments in nuclear over the past decade, we look forward to an exciting and productive event!
