The United States continues to need forward-thinking and revised public policy to assure safe nuclear waste disposal. Both the high- and low-level disposal plans enacted by Congress in the 1980's have been frustrated by practical and political interventions. In the interim, ad hoc solutions and temporary fixes have emerged as de facto policy. Future statutory, regulatory, and administrative guidance will likely be less bold, more narrowly focused, and adopted at lower levels of government, more informally, in contrast to the top-down, statutory policies of the 1980's.
美国仍然需要具有前瞻性思维和经过修订的公共政策，以确保安全处置核废料。国会在20世纪80年代制定的高放和低放处置计划，均因实际干预和政治干预而受挫。在此期间，临时解决方案和权宜之计已成为事实上的政策。与20世纪80年代自上而下的法定政策相比，未来的法规、监管和行政指导可能会不那么大胆，重点更狭窄，且在政府较低层级以更非正式的方式采用。
