    A concentrated nuclear power plant siting policy, adding reactors to existing sites, is proposed. This approach aims to improve public acceptance and create a more rational nuclear system for managing waste and decommissioning.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Engineering
    • Energy Policy
    • Environmental Science

    Background:

    • Current nuclear power plant siting in the US involves many dispersed sites.
    • This can lead to challenges in managing nuclear activities and waste.
    • Public acceptance of nuclear energy remains a significant consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term benefits of a concentrated nuclear siting policy.
    • To propose an incremental implementation strategy for this policy.
    • To explore how concentrated siting can enhance nuclear waste and decommissioning management.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of concentrated versus dispersed nuclear siting models.
    • Assessment of institutional and infrastructural requirements for concentrated sites.

  • Evaluation of potential impacts on public perception and regulatory frameworks.

    • Main Results:

    • Concentrated siting can isolate nuclear activities, strengthening management institutions.
    • It offers potential for improved long-term management of low-level waste and reactor decommissioning.
    • Incremental implementation by adding reactors to existing sites is feasible.

    Conclusions:

    • A policy of a few, large, concentrated nuclear sites is preferable to dispersed siting.
    • Concentrated siting can lead to a more rational and contained nuclear system.
    • This policy shift may enhance public acceptability of nuclear energy in the United States.
