This event has passed.

The Bipartisan Policy Center’s Nuclear Waste Council was designed to reinvigorate and expand the discussion on nuclear waste, identify barriers prohibiting progress on storage and disposal of the waste, and explore options to create a viable national strategy for its long-term and safe disposition.

The council released a series of recommendations on the topic of consent-based siting. These will serve as a foundation for the upcoming national nuclear waste management conversation and are based on a year of intense research, surveys of state government officials, and visits to communities undergoing nuclear waste siting consideration.

BPC hosted a discussion of the challenges and solutions to America’s nuclear waste management and the promise consent-based siting can have for future projects.
