NRC commissioner questions decision to withdraw Yucca licensing bid
Dale Klein of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission challenged the U.S. government's decision to revoke the license application for the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada, stating that politics fueled the move. "The administration's stated rationale for changing course does not seem to rest on factual findings and thus does not bolster the credibility of our government to handle this matter competently," he said.
