About

This is a hybrid meeting that will be held in Richland, WA and virtually. It will be used to discuss the National Academy of Sciences committee's final review of the FFRDC report on supplemental low-activity waste treatment alternatives.

The FFRDC report is an important document for decision makers that delivers a regulatory overview and describes methods used to analyze treatment alternatives (vitrification, fluidized bed steam reforming, and grouting) and results from the comparative analysis. The NAS committee conducted a review of the report, the third in an iterative series, and also sought input from a variety of stakeholders, including the public.

This final meeting will provide an opportunity for members of the community, representatives from the states of Washington and Oregon, regional tribal nations, and other local stakeholders to share their perspectives and insights on the report.

Meeting timing: June 6, 2023, 1:00 - 5:30 PM PDT

Register to attend either virtually or in person here.
Virtual attendees can add their comments/questions to the Slido box below anytime before or during the meeting.
