Nevada is pressuring the U.S. to finally scrap its plan for disposing the country’s most hazardous radioactive waste. The federal project has already been halted for over 10 years.
But plans for the repository were mothballed after 2010, when then-U.S. Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid, Congress and the administration of President Barack Obama shut off funding.
Gov. Steve Sisolak, U.S. Sens, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, state Attorney General Aaron Ford and U.S. Reps. Steven Horsford and Susie Lee — all Democrats — also endorsed the state's call for action. The state launched a website focusing on what it calls dangers and flaws in the plan. The state said Tuesday it wants a"summary disposition" by the NRC, not a complete slate of hearings. Challenges of a range of Energy Department findings about the geology of the site and the transport of nuclear material would remain unanswered.
