    1   Link   The Berkeley Center for Toxic Waste Management
    This is a forum for faculty members to work on technical, social and political aspects of nuclear and toxic waste management. Most of its site concerns the workings of the group, but scroll down to Data and you'll find useful information about decommissioning nuclear power plants and the various radioactive waste categories and their disposal methods. There's also a list of plants in the U.S. that have special licenses to store waste on site. Text can sometimes sound academic, so you have to be patient. Also many of the other pages under Data are under development like reprocessing and repository.     		509
