Receiving nuclear waste activities at the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management concentrate primarily on the acceptance of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste from commercial and government-owned sites to the planned geologic repository at the Yucca Mountain Site in Nevada.

Receiving nuclear waste is the formal process of taking title to and physical possession of waste from commercial and government-owned sites. The process includes establishing annual acceptance allocations, verification of waste data, and managing contractual and legal issues associated with waste acceptance.
