South Carolina seeks to block termination of Yucca Mountain project
The White House's plan to terminate the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste-storage project in Nevada has prompted South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster to take legal action to prevent it. South Carolina wants to ensure that the license proceedings for the project continue, "so that the [used] fuel and other nuclear material now being temporarily stored in our state will be safely placed in the Yucca Mountain repository," he said.
