DESCRIPTION:This webinar will address lingering questions about commercial nuclear waste\, including: \n\nthe basics about how it is produced and stored—and in some cases\, stranded—at nuclear power plants across the Midwest;\nthe policy and legal history concerning its removal\, transportation\, consolidated storage\, recycling\, and permanent disposal;\nthe increasing impacts of federal government inaction on host communities\, utilities\, electric customers\, and all US taxpayers;\nthe potential opportunities and impacts of new nuclear reactors and SMRs and facts about recycling technologies; and\nhow states can engage to support a successful national integrated nuclear waste management program that both addresses longstanding concerns and broadens opportunities for the nuclear sector and future host communities.\n\nCo-Moderators: \n\nCommissioner Katherine Peretick\, Michigan Public Service Commission & Chair\, Nuclear Waste Strategy Coalition (NWSC)\nCommissioner Stacey Paradis\, Illinois Commerce Commission and Vice Chair\, NWSC\n\nPanelists: \n\nDr. Sven Bader\, Technical Executive\, EPRI\nDr. Erica Bickford\, Director\, Office of Storage & Transportation\, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) (Invited)\nAdam Levin\, Consultant\, AHL Consulting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/webinar-5-what-about-the-waste/ LOCATION:District of Columbia CATEGORIES:America's Smartland,Nuclear,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260211T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260212T123000 DTSTAMP:20260119T084538 CREATED:20260113T192423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T193900Z UID:10329-1770811200-1770899400@midwesterngovernors.org SUMMARY:America's Smartland Summit: Nuclear Energy In the Midwest DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the MGA Nuclear Energy Summit\, taking place February 11–12 in Washington\, DC at the Nuclear Energy Institute Headquarters (1201 F St. NW)\, conveniently located near Metro Center.If you’re already coming to Washington\, DC for NARUC\, we’ve intentionally timed this summit to allow you to attend both—making it easy to continue the conversations\, connections\, and learning without extending your travel.The two-day summit will bring together state leaders\, federal officials\, industry representatives\, and key stakeholders to explore the current and future role of nuclear energy in the United States. We’ll discuss\, including federal and international nuclear policy\,nuclear energy’s role in energy security and dominance\, advanced nuclear technologies\, workforce development and community engagement\, and the evolving regulatory landscape for new nuclear development. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nDraft Agenda URL:https://midwesterngovernors.org/event/americas-smartland-summit-nuclear-energy-in-the-midwest/ LOCATION:Nuclear Energy Institute Headquarters\, 1201 F St. NW\, Washington\, District of Columbia\, United States CATEGORIES:America's Smartland,In-Person,Nuclear END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
