Opposites can solve nuclear waste problems working together

In these challenging times of ever-increasing political polarization and strong differing personal opinions, there is hope that diverse points of view can converge to create solutions for difficult problems if we remain focused on the common good.
For us, the common interest is a solution for the broken U.S. program to dispose of the growing inventory of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from commercial nuclear energy. We strongly believe this is critical to support and enable our projected continuation and expansion of safe, reliable, clean, affordable nuclear power to support the needs of our rapidly evolving national and global societies.
The EPRI conducts research, development, and demonstration projects for the benefit of the public in the United States and internationally. As an independent, nonprofit organization for public interest energy and environmental research, we focus on electricity generation, delivery, and use in collaboration with the electricity sector, its stakeholders and others to enhance the quality of life by making electric power safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible. Through global collaboration with nuclear power plant operators, regulatory agencies, and other research organizations, EPRI develops cost-effective technologies, technical guidance, and knowledge transfer tools that help maximize the value of existing nuclear assets and inform the deployment of new nuclear technology.
