At this meeting, officials from the US Department of Energy will be available to discuss long-term planning and technologies that could potentially be used for monitoring spent nuclear fuel storage cannister integrity, since it is anticipated that the spent fuel could remain at the VY site for several decades (and potentially longer). Funding for long-term spent fuel storage may also be discussed. The Committee Chair will also report on findings gleaned from a national RadWaste Summit attended in early June.

The June 17th FNWP Committee meeting is scheduled to run for 1 hour. While priority will be given to FNWP Committee members’ questions, opportunities for some public questions and comments will be available.

All emails sent to the Committee become public record and may be published on the VT NDCAP website (https://publicservice.vermont.gov/electric/ndcap) or the FNWP Committee Webpage.

Questions regarding the June 17th FNWP Committee meeting or any other VT NDCAP meeting may be directed to State Nuclear Engineer Tony Leshinskie via the contact information noted above.
