On Thursday, March 25th and Friday, March 26th, the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future (BCANF), co-chaired by former Congressman Lee Hamilton and former National Security Advisor General Brent Scowcroft, held its first meetings in Washington, D.C.

The Secretary of Energy, acting at the direction of the President, established the Commission to conduct a comprehensive review of policies for managing the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle, including all alternatives for the storage, processing, and disposal of civilian and defense used nuclear fuel, high-level waste, and materials derived from nuclear activities.

The commissioners made presentations and numerous stakeholders made 3-5 minute oral statements before the commission. Written statements can be submitted to Timothy A. Frazier, Designated Federal Officer, U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington DC 20585.
