520    Increasing awareness of the need to reduce greenhouse gas 
       emissions has renewed interest in nuclear power 
       generation. At the same time, the longstanding logjam over
       how to manage spent nuclear fuel continues to hamper the 
       expansion of nuclear power. If nuclear power is to be a 
       sustainable option for the United States, methods for 
       managing spent fuel that meet stringent safety and 
       environmental standards must be implemented. This 
       monograph evaluates the main technical and institutional 
       approaches to spent nuclear fuel management and identifies
       implications for the development of spent fuel management 
       policy. The authors find that on-site storage, centralized
       interim storage, and permanent geological disposal are 
       generally safe, secure, and low- to moderate-cost 
       approaches with no insurmountable technical obstacles. 
       Advanced fuel cycles enabling spent-fuel recycling could 
       reduce waste repository capacity needs but are difficult 
       to evaluate because they still in early research stages. 
       Public acceptance challenges stand as a major impediment 
       to any technical approach. The analysis shows that the 
       technical approaches can be combined in different ways to 
       form different spent fuel management strategies that can 
       be distinguished primarily in terms of societal 
       preferences in three areas: the disposition of spent fuel,
       the growth of nuclear power, and intergenerational trade-
       offs.
