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/ CATEGORIES:America's Smartland,Nuclear,Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
