In this document, the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE) outlines its road map for implementing a consent-based siting process to site one or more federal consolidated interim storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel.
The Department’s efforts to develop a consolidated interim storage capability are consistent with direction provided by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. DOE’s efforts to develop a consent-based siting process by working collaboratively with members of the public, communities, stakeholders, and governments at the Tribal, state, and local levels began in 2015. At that time, DOE solicited public feedback on consent-based siting and conducted a series of public meetings. Drawing on that feedback, and on the findings of several expert groups, DOE developed and requested public comment on the “Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste” (hereafter, the draft consent-based siting process) in January 2017. Subsequent to the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the Department issued a request for information (RFI) on “Using a ConsentBased Siting Process to Identify Federal Interim Storage Facilities” (86 FR 68244) in December 2021. This document revises and improves upon the draft consent-based siting process issued in 2017. It reflects public input provided in response to the 2021 RFI, DOE’s request for public comment on the initial draft consent based siting process in 2017, several expert reports, and lessons learned from decades of siting experience with nuclear waste management, and other types of facilities in the United States and abroad. It also reflects several core principles and guiding values, including a commitment to protect public health and safety and the environment, prioritize environmental justice and social equity, focus on communities, enable broad participation, and work to build and sustain public trust and confidence. DOE’s approach to consent-based siting is in accordance with key presidential directives on environmental justice and equity, including Executive Order 12898 on “Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations,” Executive Order 13985 on “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government,” and Executive Order 14008 on “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.” Because a consent-based siting process, by its nature, must be flexible, iterative, adaptive, and responsive to community concerns, the Department will continue refining the process as it learns more.
