Topic: Transportation of High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel in the Northeast
The Northeast High-Level Radioactive Waste Transportation Task Force represents ten northeast states from Maine to Delaware and works with the Department of Energy and other federal agencies to ensure the safe transportation of radioactive materials throughout the region. The states are responsible for the health and safety of the public and therefore require emergency preparedness training and response coordination in the transportation jurisdictions. The Task Force Project Director will discuss past and present shipments in the Northeast and address the challenges to state emergency management agencies in safely transporting high-level radioactive materials throughout the region, including the training and coordination requirements for the states involved with the future transportation of commercial spent nuclear fuel.
