GNEP Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement out

October 24, 2008

Public meeting in Los Alamos planned

The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement was released by the Department of Energy.

The document provides an analysis of the potential environmental consequences of alternatives to the current United States' open fuel cycle, in which nuclear fuel is used one time and eventually sent to geologic disposal.

The proposed GNEP Program, which is part of the President’s Advanced Energy Initiative, is intended to support a safe, secure, and sustainable expansion of nuclear energy, both domestically and internationally.

DOE has scheduled a public hearing at 7 p.m. November 20 at the Hilltop House Best Western, 400 Trinity Drive in Los Alamos.
