Spent Fuel Solutions is a group of local governments, elected officials, utilities, environmental groups, labor leaders, Native American leaders, business organizations and other community members who support the relocation of spent nuclear fuel to a federally licensed off-site facility. This is the first step forward to take action. Our founding members include representatives from the County of Orange, County of San Diego, Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas & Electric and the City of Riverside.
Our goal is to encourage the federal government to provide off-site storage and permanent disposal solutions for the spent nuclear fuel at nuclear reactor sites in 34 states across the nation, through a collaborative siting process with input from stakeholders and engaged communities.
Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the federal government was required by law and contractually obligated to begin taking possession of and disposing spent nuclear fuel back in 1998. Today – more than two decades later – it has not yet fulfilled its obligations.
