To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
Although China's nuclear industry is still young and nuclear spent fuel is not a concern yet, China's strong commitment to nuclear energy and rapid pace on nuclear energy development call for analyses and strategies on China's future spent fuel management. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of China's fuel cycle program, understand China's reprocessing policy and the rationality behind it, and develop strategies to manage its spent fuel in the next several decades.
