This Panel will include brief presentations on state-of-the-art recycling technologies and the status of direct disposal activities occurring on the global stage. This will be followed by a moderated debate between those advocating for the recycling of used nuclear fuel (UNF) versus those advocating (or practicing) direct disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The intent of this debate is to provide insights into the decision making made in countries practicing or planning on practicing recycling of UNF versus those who are practicing or planning on direct disposal of SNF.
