Since tribes and states have primary responsibility for public health and safety, the Department of Energy developed an intergovernmental planning process when preparing for shipments of radioactive materials. The links below provide more information about the relevant DOE programs, the participating federal agencies, and the venues where the consultative planning occurs. The meetings and organizations described below offer opportunities for tribal and state government officials discuss and prepare for shipments of low-level radioactive waste, transuranic waste, and spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.
