The emergence and evolution of three principal SNF approaches are analyzed: direct disposal, reprocessing and SNF export. Five broad explanatory factors are identified and discussed in relation to the observed differences in policy outcomes: military ambitions and non-proliferation, technological culture, political culture and civil society, geological conditions, and energy policy. SNF policy outcomes can generally be seen to result from a complex interaction between these broad factors, but it is also possible to discern a number of important patterns. To the extent that the five factors may undergo far-reaching changes in the future, the historical experience of how they have shaped SNF policies also give a hint of possible future directions in SNF policymaking around the world. 1 Política nuclear 2197 Energy Policy 37 ARTICULO 169175 169175 0 0 0 0 236994 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200043970 0 200043970 2026-03-05 15:11:23 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
