Congress selected the site. DOE spent nearly $15 billion on it. The NRC conducted most of the technical review. And yet Yucca Mountain has never stored a single spent fuel assembly — while remaining, legally, the only designated permanent repository in America.

The United States has big plans for nuclear power. Washington wants new large reactors, small modular reactors and microreactors. It wants nuclear power supporting military installations, national laboratories and artificial-intelligence infrastructure. It wants more domestic uranium enrichment, new fuel production and faster pathways for advanced reactor designs. The Department of Energy calls it an American “nuclear renaissance.” There is one stubbornly unresolved piece of that renaissance: what happens to the waste?

America has accumulated more than 95,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel, has no operating permanent repository for it, and is now reconsidering whether some of that "waste" should be recycled as the country prepares for another generation of reactors.

Studsvik estimates SEK 3-4 billion of potential work under a Norway spent-fuel framework, subject to studies, work orders and permits.
