Join Policy-Makers, Regulators, Nuclear Industry Experts and Local Stakeholders as they Chart a New Path Forward for Nuclear Waste Storage
Dear Colleague,

A June 2012 court decision invalidated the NRC’s 2010 updates to the Waste Confidence Rule and also the Temporary Storage Rule and ordered the NRC to fully comply with federal law. The NRC has stated that they are now “considering all available options for resolving the waste confidence issue, which could include generic or site-specific NRC actions, or some combination of both.” To discuss more about the path moving forward for regulation and licensing of storage facilities and the relicensing of reactors, Commissioner William C. Ostendorff of the NRC will keynote Infocast’s Nuclear Waste Confidence & Storage Summit, to be held at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore in Baltimore, MD.

The Infocast summit will bring policy-makers and regulators together with plant operators and local stakeholders to explore the technical, financial and political hurdles that must be surmounted to reestablish Waste Confidence. It will provide an up-to-the-minute view of NRC, EPA and DOE initiatives and studies, and will provide invaluable insights into the paths forward for facilities for high-level waste management, and the potential changes to funding these facilities.

Sincerely,

The Infocast Team
