A major concern for the general public and in the nuclear industry is the storage and disposal of used nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. Initiatives to turn spent nuclear waste into new fuel or into glass ceramics has recently grown interest as alternative post-processing methods. Join Dr. Hayes, Dr. Turinsky, and Mr. Nesbit to learn about how the US is currently managing radioactive waste, the potential job and career opportunities available in this sector, as well as research opportunities in the DOE complex.
