IAEA releases interactive tool on global spent nuclear fuel
“But what about the waste?” Whether pronuclear, on the fence, or opposed, this common refrain still applies: Spent nuclear fuel is a challenge that needs action on clear solutions. Now, the International Atomic Energy Agency has a new tool to help people visualize the issue.
With its new online “Spent Fuel Management: The Inventory Status” tool, the IAEA has provided an important resource for investigating the amount of SNF produced by reactors around the world and how it is currently stored.
