SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Board Meeting: Consent-Based Siting
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The meeting will focus on U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) efforts on consent-based siting and will also address DOE research and development activities related to high burnup commercial spent nuclear fuel and advanced reactor waste disposition. \n \n\n\n\nThe U.S. Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board (Board) will hold a public meeting in Idaho Falls\, Idaho on Wednesday\, August 30\, 2023\, to discuss the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) consent-based siting process activities related to its mission of developing one or more federal interim storage facilities for commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF) as soon as practicable\, and its research and development (R&D) activities related to high burnup SNF and advanced reactor waste disposition. DOE will provide an update on its consent-based siting activities\, give an overview of environmental justice in consent-based siting\, and describe how it is incorporating social science and digital tools during the consent-based siting process. DOE will present an update on its R&D activities related to high burnup SNF. DOE also will describe its advanced reactor waste disposition R&D efforts both in terms of determining from a technical perspective how it can accept the SNF and high-level radioactive waste (HLW) for transportation and disposal and in developing and implementing an R&D plan to address technical gaps related to storage\, transportation\, and disposal of advanced reactor SNF and HLW. The public meeting will be preceded by a one-day international workshop on the Siting of Radioactive Waste Facilities. A separate press release will be issued on that workshop. \nThe hybrid (in-person/virtual) meeting will begin at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) and is scheduled to adjourn at approximately 4:00 p.m. MDT. The Board meeting will be held at Snake River Event Center\, 780 Lindsay Blvd\, Idaho Falls\, ID 83402\, which is located at the Shilo Inns Idaho Falls. The event center telephone number is (208) 497-0611 and the hotel telephone number is (208) 523-0088. Details for joining and viewing the meeting will be available on the Board’s website approximately one week before the meeting. \nA detailed agenda will be available on the Board’s Web site at https://www.nwtrb.gov approximately one week before the meeting. Meeting presentations and an acronym list will be available on the Board’s website the day before the meeting. The meeting will be open to the public and there will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the consent-based siting portion of the program and again\, prior to meeting adjournment. Those attending the meeting in person and wanting to provide oral comments are encouraged to sign in at the Public Comment Register at the check-in table. Oral commenters will be taken in the order in which they signed in. Depending on the number of speakers\, a time limit on individual remarks may be set. Attendees also are encouraged to pre-register\, by providing your name and affiliation to SitingWorkshop@nwtrb.gov\, to reduce their time for signing in at the check-in table. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic comments can also be submitted during the meeting via the online meeting viewing platform\, using the “Comment for the Record” form.

An archived recording of the meeting will be available on the Board’s website following the meeting\, and a transcript of the meeting will be available on the website by October 30\, 2023. \nThe Board was established in the 1987 amendments to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) as an independent agency in the Executive branch to perform an ongoing objective evaluation of the technical validity of activities undertaken by the DOE related to implementing the NWPA. Board members are experts in their fields and are appointed by the President from a list of candidates submitted by the National Academy of Sciences. The Board is required to report its findings\, conclusions\, and recommendations to Congress and the Secretary. Board reports\, correspondence\, congressional testimony\, and meeting transcripts and materials are posted on the Board’s Web site. \nFor information on the meeting\, contact Bret Leslie at leslie@nwtrb.gov or by phone 703-235-9132; or Yoonjo Lee at lee@nwtrb.gov or by phone 703-235-4482.

SUMMARY:Rooftop Solar Hearing in Idaho Falls
DESCRIPTION:Rocky Mountain Power Threatens Idaho’s Solar Power!\nPublic Hearing: Voice your concerns and tell the Idaho PUC to Reject Rocky Mountain Power’s Solar Study! \nRocky Mountain Power is pushing a plan to slash compensation rates for rooftop solar owners. This plan mirrors one they successfully lobbied for in Utah\, and aims to follow in Idaho Power’s footsteps to get the PUC to approve a bad “value of solar study.” This could significantly increase the bills for Idaho residents with solar. While attacking solar and energy democracy\, RMP wants to expand\, gas\, continue burning coal\, and sprinkle that with dangerous\, expensive nuclear energy!  Here’s the dirty deal: \n\nRocky Mountain Power wants the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve a misleading “value of solar study.”\nBased on this potentially flawed study\, they’ll then seek to reduce the amount homeowners are paid for the clean\, renewable energy their solar panels generate.\nThis is bad news for Idaho’s environment and your wallet. Over 2\,000 residents in the Rocky Mountain Power service area already enjoy the benefits of solar\, and this move could discourage others from following suit.\n\nThanks to the Idaho Sierra Club for the graphic\, info\, and comment portal! \nPlease share with your networks in eastern Idaho.
