Past Public Meetings

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review board held a meeting on November 18-19, 2013, to identify issues related to how the use of large dry-storage canisters by nuclear utilities for onsite storage will affect future handling, storage, transportation and geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF)

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board held a public meeting in Salt Lake City, UT, on September 13-14, 2011, to discuss the Department of Energy's (DOE) plans for research and development (R&D) related to its Used Fuel Disposition Program.

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board held a public meeting in Albuquerque, NM on March 7, 2012. The meeting focused on Department of Energy (DOE) work related to geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board held a two-day workshop to look at issues associated with the design and implementation of a program for deep borehole disposal of solid radioactive wastes. The objective of the workshop was to identify the technical and scientific issues associated with DOE’s research and development program to assess the viability of the deep borehole disposal concept and, more broadly, to identify issues associated with implementation of deep borehole disposal.

The U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board held a public meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday, November 19, 2019, to review information on U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research and development (R&D) activities to drying, packaging, and dry storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), including aluminum-clad SNF related.
