Gary Lanthrum, a former director of the National Transportation Program for Yucca Mountain, will present an overview of current practices for transporting used nuclear fuel in the U.S. Tom Palmisano, vice president and chief nuclear officer for Southern California Edison, will provide an update on preparations to decommission the plant.
