SUMMARY: A potential nuclear waste facility could be built in Fort Smith as part of a federal initiative to consolidate spent nuclear fuel storage from over 90 sites to about four locations nationwide. Fort Smith, one of 25 candidate sites, was selected due to its transportation infrastructure, including access to I-40, railways, and the river. The project is in its early stage, focusing on public awareness and feedback. The proposed facility would cover 1,200 acres, storing 500-600 dry casks, and could bring significant economic benefits, including hundreds of jobs and billions in construction development.
