Engagement Panel Hosts Public Meeting to Discuss
Long-Term Spent Nuclear Fuel Management at Diablo Canyon

Spent Nuclear Fuel is accumulating at Diablo Canyon.  How long will it remain there and where will it go?  

The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel, in cooperation with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, hosted an in-person and virtual public meeting to discuss the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel at Diablo Canyon and the implications of national efforts to establish interim consolidated storage facilities and a permanent disposal facility.

Topics discussed include:

• An overview of spent nuclear fuel storage in the US.
• The current status of spent nuclear fuel storage at Diablo Canyon and implications of extended operations.
• A presentation on current activities to establish a consolidated interim storage facility and a permanent national repository for spent nuclear fuel.
• Examples of spent nuclear fuel storage projects in Finland and Canada.
• Advocating for offsite solutions for spent nuclear fuel.
