What the recommendations of The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future could mean to Washington will be discussed Tuesday in Richland.

James Conca, a senior scientist with the RJ Lee Group, will speak at a meeting of the Eastern Washington Section of the American Nuclear Society. He has worked on nuclear waste issues since 1985.

The Blue Ribbon Commission is looking at options for used commercial nuclear fuel and the nation's high-level radioactive weapons waste, including waste at Hanford, as the Department of Energy shuts down the Yucca Mountain, Nev., repository project.

He speaks at 7 p.m. at the Shilo Inn, Richland. Those who want to attend a dinner meeting an hour before should make reservations by 4 p.m. today and will be charged $22. Call 366-9632 or email ans.ews.treasurer@gmail.com.
