Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100–203, Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act (NWPAA) of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will hold a public meeting in Idaho Falls, Idaho, on Wednesday, June 13, 2018, to review technical issues that need to be addressed before the Department of Energy (DOE) begins a nationwide effort to transport spent nuclear fuel (SNF) or high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Currently, commercial SNF is stored at nuclear power stations across the country, and HLW and DOE SNF are stored at four federal facilities. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended, calls for this waste to be moved eventually to a permanent geologic repository for disposal. Proposals for temporary interim storage of some of the SNF also have been discussed. Before the waste is moved from where it is now to another location, it will be necessary for DOE to complete the development of an integrated waste management program to support transporting the waste. At its meeting, the Board will consider technical issues that need to be addressed in preparing for such a transportation effort. The Board meeting will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, 700 Lindsay Boulevard, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402. The hotel telephone number is 208– 522–9500, and the fax number is 208– 522–9501.

The Board will also hear from commercial nuclear industry representatives, including a utility in Switzerland, about the experience of the commercial industry in preparing for SNF and HLW transportation. Other speakers will provide observations from experience with the former Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management and discuss the perspectives of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and stakeholder groups.
