LO customers view the risks associated with these issues and costs as unacceptably high. The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 requires the DOE to provide for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel (“ SNF”) and associated high -levelnuclear waste (“ HLW”). In 1987, Congress amended the Nuclear Waste Policy Act to identify Yucca Mountain, in Nevada, as the only site that the DOE could consider for a permanent repository. The DOE has since cancelled this project, but under the federal law, is required to construct storage facilities for, and to dispose of, all SNF and other HLW generated by domestic nuclear reactors. Interim storage requires the construction and maintenance of NRC licensed SNF/ HLW storage facilities. While the costs of 28 developing and maintaining these interim storage facilities can have a significant effect on the costs associated with waste storage and disposal for nuclear reactors, including Terra Innovatum’s reactors, these costs could themselves be impacted by the timing of the opening of a disposal facility, as well as any possible future changes to the interim storage or transportation requirements for SNF and other forms of HLW, and the extent to which operators are able to continue to successfully sue DOE for costs incurred as a result of its continued failure to provide for permanent disposal. There are currently two consolidated interim storage (“ CIS”) facilities under development in the United States for the interim storage of SNF/HLW. One facility has received an NRC license for construction and operation, and the other facility is in the final stages of its NRC licensing review. It is possible that SNF/HLW generated at an Terra Innovatum reactor could be stored at one of these CIS facilities; however, it is also possible that these CIS facilities are never built or become operational, or are unable to store such waste from an Terra Innovatum reactor, in which case, the waste would need to be stored onsite or at another interim SNF storage facility until another disposal option became available, such as a U.S. government determined permanent national repository or other government storage facility. The establishment of a national repository for the storage and/or permanent disposal of SNF, such as the one previously considered at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the timing of such a facility’s opening and the ability of such a facility to accept waste from an Terra Innovatum reactor, and any related regulatory action, could impact the costs associated with our SOLO customers’ storage and/or disposal of SNF/HLW. Likewise, the establishment of a CIS for the storage
