Explore the complex challenges of nuclear waste management in this 50-minute lecture by Jennifer Richter from Arizona State University. Delve into the U.S. government's new "consent-based siting" (CBS) approach for nuclear waste repositories, examining its potential to address longstanding issues with radioactive materials from commercial and military applications. Analyze the nuclear waste policy landscape in the United States, focusing on past, present, and far-future implications through the lens of environmental and intergenerational justice. Engage with diverse perspectives, from scientists and engineers to potential host communities and future generations responsible for safeguarding these materials. Critically evaluate the CBS approach, considering how it addresses historical injustices and future governance processes for nuclear projects. Gain insights into the intricate balance between scientific, social, and ethical considerations in managing one of humanity's most enduring technological challenges.
