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.

Don’t Mess with Nuclear: Leading the Way
College Station, TX|Texas A&M University
The ANS student section at Texas A&M University is excited to welcome students from across the world to the heart of Aggieland for the ANS Student Conference 2026.
Rooted in the bold spirit of Texas, “Don’t Mess with Nuclear” embodies both the resilience and responsibility that define the pursuit of nuclear technology. Drawing inspiration from the iconic “Don’t Mess with Texas” slogan, this theme celebrates a culture of pride, professionalism, and technical excellence within nuclear science and engineering.
In recent years, our world has endured extraordinary challenges, from global pandemics to pressing energy crises. Through it all, nuclear technology has stood as a steadfast symbol of stability, innovation, and progress. This theme calls on students to mirror that same strength, rising to meet challenges with resolve and driving boldly toward a brighter, more sustainable future.
Please submit either an abstract or summary describing work that is new, significant, and relevant to the nuclear industry. This may include internship projects, senior design projects, and other student research. Both summaries and abstracts can be considered for any of the indicated presentation options. Summaries and abstracts are presented orally at the conference, and presenters are expected to register for the conference. Non–U.S. attendees requesting a visa invitation letter: registrar@ans.org.
