Videos and presentations are now available from the first public session of the study on Merits and Viability of Different Nuclear Fuel Cycles and Technology Options and the Waste Aspects of Advanced Nuclear Reactors, which was held by the National Academies 21–23 September 2020. Speakers from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave overviews of their programs related to nuclear fuel cycles and waste from advanced nuclear reactors. Dr. William Boyle, DOE's Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, and current and former congressional staff discussed the congressional mandate for the study. Learn more on the study web page.
