UPCOMING EVENT

EWC Co-Sponsors
Presentation on the Reclassification of High-Level Nuclear Waste
Friday, January 11 at 12:30 p.m.
Richland Public Library
Speakers: Alex Smith, Program Manager, Washington Department of Ecology & Jim Nunca, Nuclear Waste Scientific Consultant


This program sponsored in conjunction with The American Nuclear Society-Eastern Washington Section will provide a perspective on the reclassification of high-level nuclear waste (HLW). The discussion will include the possibility of potentially dropping the physical source aspect of the definition of HLW and increasing the focus on the isotopic inventory. This is of particular interest with respect to radiological waste disposal. It also relates to regulation, cost, schedule, and eventual disposal of defense nuclear waste. The assertion is that clean up and disposal programs utilizing this definition may be accelerated at a substantially reduced cost.
