Nuclear Power Daily: Holtec to chair webinar on interim storage facility


Dear Colleague,

Of the more than 70,000 mt of spent fuel stored in the US, the vast majority is held in limbo at nuclear reactor sites. Growing by 2,000 mt a year, pressure is mounting to find an alternative solution for SNF storage.

Pierre Oneid, VP and CNO at Holtec, will chair a one-off live webinar discussion on July 29 at 10:30-11:30AM EST to answer key questions on how they plan to address this issue by constructing a Consolidated Interim Storage Facility.

Sign up to the exclusive webinar with Holtec, ELEA and the National Spent Fuel Collaborative right here.

Just some of the main topics to be discussed:
+ Hear why an alternative solution to spent fuel storage is vital and understand the challenges involved in achieving it, including licensing, transportation and construction

+ Review how consent based siting works and why New Mexico is receiving support from local and regional representatives

+ Join in the live debate by asking questions to the panellists and contributing to live polling, to ensure you get the latest information on industry sentiment towards this new initiative
