Deep Isolation asks states to include waste disposal in their nuclear strategy
Nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation is asking that the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) consider how spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste will be managed under its strategy for developing advanced nuclear power projects in participating states.

The intensive study of fission products and their effects carried out over the past decade has resulted in a thorough understanding of their behavior and an accurate predictive capability. A convenient form, a fitted linear combination of exponentials, has been developed for representing aggregate time-dependent decay spectra. The resulting parameters are useful in a wide variety of fission product applications. The fitted functions, which include beta and gamma aggregate spectra for total and gaseous fission products from 235U and 239Pu over the 0- to 109-s time interval, are readily used with any power history.
