摘要

美国的高放射性废物(乏核燃料和高放射性废物)管理和处置计划迄今尚未成功,尽管经过了40年的努力和数百亿美元的支出。然而,今天,人们对先进的反应堆技术有相当大的兴趣和推广,例如小型模块化反应堆,它将扩大乏燃料库存,这些库存很可能留在它们产生的地方,等待永久的地质处置。我们研究了阻碍美国项目成功的美国法律和监管框架的关键因素。我们就成功实施核废料计划所需的步骤提出建议,特别是考虑到先进核反应堆及其燃料循环的发展。

US Legal and Regulatory Framework for Nuclear Waste from Present and Future Reactors and Their Fuel Cycles
The nuclear waste management and disposal program in the United States for highly radioactive waste (spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste) has thus far been unsuccessful despite an effort that spans 40 years and the expenditure of tens of billions of dollars. Yet, today, there is considerable interest in and promotion of advanced reactor technologies, such as small modular reactors that will expand spent fuel inventories that may very well remain at the site where they are generated, awaiting permanent, geologic disposal. We examine critical elements of the US legal and regulatory framework that have impeded the success of the US program. We make recommendations on steps that are required for a successful nuclear waste program, particularly considering the development of advanced nuclear reactors and their fuel cycles.

期刊介绍: The Annual Review of Environment and Resources, established in 1976, offers authoritative reviews on key environmental science and engineering topics. It covers various subjects, including ecology, conservation science, water and energy resources, atmosphere, oceans, climate change, agriculture, living resources, and the human dimensions of resource use and global change. The journal's recent transition from gated to open access through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program, with all articles published under a CC BY license, enhances the dissemination of knowledge in the field.
