NEI chief executive highlights “unlimited potential” for nuclear in state of the industry address
Korsnick
In the Nuclear Energy Institute’s annual State of the Nuclear Energy Industry report, NEI president and CEO and Maria Korsnick expressed optimism about the nuclear industry and she issued a call to action.
Her address was part of NEI’s Nuclear Energy Policy forum. The forum, being held in Washington, D.C., on May 20 and May 21, brings together industry leaders, policy stakeholders, and clean energy experts to discuss nuclear advocacy. Korsnick’s remarks focused on the private capital flowing into the industry, progress on regulatory reform and new nuclear technology, and how the U.S. is trying to take the lead on the global nuclear stage.
“We are here at an unprecedented time in our industry history,” Korsnick said. “I’m proud to say that the nuclear industry has a future of unlimited potential.”

Aqueous wastes from the reprocessing of nuclear fuels at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant are solidified in the Waste Calcination Facility. The calcined wastes are then stored in stainless steel bins contained in concrete vaults. It has been determined that the radionuclides of cesium and strontium leach readily on contact with aqueous solutions from the particulate fresh product calcine. Thus, the calcine may require further treatment for final disposal Calcine that is stored up to 12 years has remained particulate and its chemical and other physical properties are similar to those of the original product calcine.
