Introduction

Since the first nuclear power plant began generating electricity, nuclear planners have
recognized the necessity to provide a safe method of storing and eventually disposing
of the radioactive used or "spent" fuel after it is removed from the reactor. Over the
years, a number of studies have examined alternative methods of high-level waste
and spent fuel disposal. After systematic evaluation of several options, the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) determined that isolation in deep geologic formations
offered the safest and most effective method of disposal.

When Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), the United
States took a major step toward the goal of safe disposal of spent fuel and
radioactive waste. This landmark legislation provides a comprehensive plan and
schedule for establishing a national system of permanent waste disposal in deep
underground repositories. A necessary element of this system is the transportation
of the waste to the facilities developed under the NWPA.
