Reprocessing, Storage, and Risk: Diane D'Arrigo Explains the Nuclear Cycle
In this episode of Eye on the Issues, we speak with Diane D’Arrigo of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS). This organization has worked with communities and policymakers on nuclear waste issues since the late 1970s.
This conversation explores how radioactive waste is generated through nuclear power, the types of materials it leaves behind, and how these materials interact with the human body and the environment. Diane also discusses the process of fuel reprocessing, the history of storage proposals, such as Yucca Mountain, and the regulatory framework for transporting spent nuclear fuel.
This interview is part of our ongoing effort to explore the whole landscape of nuclear energy policy—past, present, and proposed—especially as it relates to emerging developments in Wyoming.
