The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced funding of $26m for groups of university, non-profit, and private-sector partners that will work with communities interested in storing and disposing of used nuclear fuel. Under its consent-based siting policy, DOE said that, along with these consortia, it will continue working with communities to ensure transparency and local support. This follows DOE’s first update to the Consent-Based Siting Process for Federal Consolidated Interim Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel in April.
