“As I know my colleague from Alaska is aware, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory has, over the course of its history, received commercial spent nuclear fuel for research and development purposes. One of the largest receipts was the receipt of the discharged core from the Three Mile Island nuclear powerplant in the 1980's. Idaho has also received, and continues to store, expended fuel from naval nuclear reactors. One of the key provisions of the consent order is that the DOE is ordered to remove all spent fuel, including naval spent fuel and Three Mile Island spent fuel from Idaho by January 1, 2035.”
