by Debra Knopman, James Bartis, Thomas Light, et al.

If nuclear power is to be sustainable option for the United States, methods for managing spent fuel that meet stringent safety and environmental standards must be implemented. This book evaluates four approaches and draws policy implications associated with different societal priorities and values.
