摘　　要：USA nuclear waste management program has stalled due to its continued insistence upon using Yucca Mountain for its disposal of DOE （Department of Energy） and commercial power plants NSF （nuclear spent fuel）. Increased flexibility and significant changes in DOE program are proposed. They include a private waste company to manage it; the construction and operation of ICS （interim centralized storage） facilities for NSF; the search for an AGR （alternate geological repository）; the use of a different methodology involving key local and state participants; a new ＂as safe as practical＂ strategy with defined benefits to the involved locations and states. Assured removal of NSF from ICS and providing limited Price Anderson indemnity for the program will enhance its acceptance. Minimum politics, regular information meetings, compromises, good cost projections and meeting schedules will be necessary to increase the chances of the proposed nuclear waste management program.
