Earlier this summer, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) completed a report on nuclear waste titled, "An Integrated Disposal Plan Could Help DOE Complete Its Cleanup Mission and Save Billions".

ECA is hosting an informational webinar to learn more about the recommendations to develop DOE complex-wide analyses to assess the progress of its cleanup mission. These recommendations include; optimization models to identify optimal disposal pathways; a call to develop a complex-wide disposal plan; and the creation of a forum for EM, cleanup sites, and disposal facility regulators to address regulatory constraints to optimal disposal approaches. 

GAO analyzed EM waste data, interviewed or requested information from all 15 EM sites, visited commercial nuclear waste disposal facilities, and developed a hypothetical model for optimizing transuranic waste disposal using EM data. 

Join ECA on July 24 at 2pm ET to learn more about the report.

Speakers will include: 

• Facilitator: Seth Kirshenberg – Executive Director, Energy Communities Alliance 

• Amanda Kolling, Assistant Director - Natural Resources and Environment, GAO 

• Nathan Anderson, Director - Natural Resources and Environment, GAO
