BRC Recommendations Implementation
 
"The Administration's Strategy supports the principles of the Commission's recommendations and provides a framework for an integrated program for nuclear waste management, including sustainable funding mechanisms. Fundamentals of the Strategy include the creation of a well-defined consent-based facility siting process, implementation of interim storage in the near-term, development of geologic disposal as a permanent solution, establishment of a new body to run the program, and an approach to make funds collected to support nuclear waste management more directly available for that purpose. The Budget provides $60 million for activities to lay the ground work for the design of an integrated waste management system and related research and development activities."
