The Role and Authority of Tribal Governments in the Transportation of High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel: TRMTC hosted this webinar in October 2018, which aimed to deepen participants' understanding of tribal governments and their unique perspective on issues around engagement and collaboration with federal, state, and local governments, as well as industry. Moreover, there are specific tribal concerns on transportation of radioactive materials through or near Tribal lands that could have implications for local, state, and federal governments.
