The National Academy of Sciences Wants Your Input

For some time, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has been conducting a study on the transportation of radioactive waste. In a joint collaboration of the Board on Radioactive Waste Management (BRWM) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB), a 16-member committee appointed by the National Research Council is examining the risks of transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste in the U.S. and the associated technical and societal challenges should a large-scale transportation program be implemented.

The National Academies Press plans to release a series of public information products that will follow the 2005 release of the final NAS radioactive waste transportation report. Given the complexity of the topic and the attendant broad interest among many individuals and groups, one of the biggest challenges, and highest priorities, is to define the types of products that will be most suitable to disseminate.

To complete its research, the National Academies Press has created a brief communications survey that will help them glean more practical information. As a person interested in this study issue, please consider taking the survey. Your feedback will help the National Academies Press complete its research and finalize its communication outreach efforts. Go to NAS Survey
