Grouting Hanford’s low-level radioactive liquid tank waste could cost between $480 million and $1.1 billion, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office, which has repeatedly found that grouting (immobilizing waste in a concrete-like mixture) can accelerate cleanup at the Hanford Site and save billions of dollars when compared to mixing the waste with molten glass through the vitrification process.

In 2019, the nuclear industry was the largest provider of clean electricity, generating 20% of carbon-free electricity in the United States. Now, as the country moves to decarbonize across all economic sectors, there are new and exciting applications for nuclear energy. This panel will feature an inclusive discussion of the role for nuclear energy to play in decarbonization goals from the perspective of different industry leaders. Presentations will focus on the current development of nuclear energy of new end uses, and how young professionals can best prepare themselves for the nuclear industry of tomorrow.
