Policy Principles

Spent Fuel Solutions’ key priorities:

Advocating for legislative and administrative changes that will enable spent fuel storage and disposal solutions to move forward is SFS’ top priority. In addition to supporting a collaboration-based siting process for consolidated interim storage (CIS), our coalition has adopted four key policy principles:

  • Authorization to form a single-purpose,autonomous federal organization to manage the spent fuel program.
  • Reliable and adequate funding for this autonomous federal organization.
  • Authorization for a flexible, collaborative repository siting program that is not limited to any single site.
  • Revisions to the linkage between CIS and a repository to allow for near-term offsite storage.
