Nuclear power is emerging as a solution to America's energy
concerns. Despite its impeccable safety and environmental
record as well as its potential to transform America's energy
profile, questions still remain about the viability of a broad
expansion of nuclear power in the United States. One of the
last questions for many Americans about nuclear energy is what to
do with the waste. To the surprise of many, other countries
already have programs in place to deal with their spent nuclear
fuel and the United States could do the same. Indeed, the
United States once led the world in such technologies. Join
us as our expert panel discusses America's past experience with
nuclear fuel recycling, what other countries are doing today, and
how a comprehensive fuel cycle program in the United States might
work.
