The NFRC was established in 2002 to promote the construction and operation of nuclear reprocessing facilities. NFRC promotes reprocessing commercial spent nuclear fuel that is generated by commercial nuclear power plants.

Reprocessing dramatically reduces the amount of high-level radioactive waste that would have to be stored in a geologic repository. We also support reprocessing plutonium and highly enriched uranium from nuclear warheads into fuel for use in commercial nuclear power plants.

S. 3469, the Nuclear Waste Administration Act of 2012

The NFRC clearly made a difference in the nuclear waste area.  Former Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman introduced the legislation below last year, which is clearly patterned after our proposed Nuclear Waste Mangement Agency Act.

S. 3469, the Nuclear Waste Administration Act of 2012

The bill seeks to establish a new organization to manage nuclear waste, provide a consensual process for siting nuclear waste facilities, and ensure adequate funding for managing nuclear waste.
