Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, LLP and JEPIC-USA are pleased to co-host a discussion on national strategies for used nuclear fuel management in Japan and the US. As both countries continue to navigate the political and technical challenges of siting and managing UNF, the US is considering new business opportunities for used fuel management given the delay in establishing a permanent UNF repository. After the Fukushima-Daiichi accident, Japan has restarted a portion of its nuclear power plants. As part of the restart effort, safety is the top priority. Japan has also made an effort to promote the construction/utilization of interim and dry storage facilities for increased storage capacity. The discussion will present an opportunity for information sharing and better understanding of different UNF management standards, solutions, and approaches in both countries.

• Sho Yoshinaga, Senior Analyst, JEPIC-USA

• Haizhen Pan, Program Manager of International Projects, Holtec
