DOE/FE Evaluation
The Application will be reviewed

Notice of Public Meeting To Inform the
Design of a Consent-Based Siting
Process for Nuclear Waste Storage
and Disposal Facilities
Fuel Cycle Technologies, Office
of Nuclear Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:

The U.S Department of
Energy (DOE) is implementing a
consent-based siting process to establish
an integrated waste management system
to transport, store, and dispose of spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive
waste. In a consent-based siting
approach, DOE will work with
communities, tribal governments and
states across the country that express
interest in hosting any of the facilities
identified as part of an integrated waste
management system. As part of this
process, the Department is hosting a
series of public meetings to engage
communities and individuals and
discuss the development of a consentbased approach to managing our
nation’s nuclear waste. A public
meeting will be held in Atlanta, GA on
April 11, 2016.
DATES: The meeting will take place on
Monday April 11, 2016 from 1:00 p.m.
to 5:00 p.m. EDT. Informal poster
sessions will be held from 12:00 p.m.
until 1:00 p.m. EDT and again after 5:00
p.m. EDT. Department officials will be
available to discuss consent-based siting
during the poster sessions.

The meeting will be held at
the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference
Center, 800 Spring Street NW., Atlanta,
GA 30308. To register for this meeting
and to review the agenda for the
meeting, please go to energy.gov/
consentbasedsiting.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for further information should
be sent to consentbasedsiting@
hq.doe.gov or to Michael Reim at 202–
586–2981. Updated information on this
and other planned public meetings on
consent based siting will be posted at
energy.gov/consentbasedsiting.
If you are unable to attend a public
meeting or would like to further discuss
ideas for consent-based siting, please
request an opportunity for us to speak
with you. The Department will do its
best to accommodate such requests and
help arrange additional opportunities to
engage. To learn more about nuclear
energy, nuclear waste, and ongoing
technical work please go to energy.gov/
