Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is an independent, nonprofit organization that conducts research, development and demonstration relating to the generation, delivery and use of electricity for the benefit of the public. The organization brings together scientists and engineers, as well as experts from academia and the industry to help address challenges in nearly every area of electricity generation delivery and use, management and environmental responsibility.
The Commission recognized EPRI for the significant role the organization plays in advancing low-level radioactive waste management improvements in the United States. EPRI’s leadership and innovative efforts in developing waste storage guidelines and providing site-specific support for low-level waste programs at nuclear power plants have enhanced public safety, as well as contributed to the efficient management of radioactive waste in the U.S.
