Senate hopeful in Nev. details plans for Yucca Mountain project
Nevada senatorial candidate Sue Lowden said she is committed to revising the Nuclear Waste Policy Act so that it requires the Yucca Mountain project to be prepared for reprocessing nuclear waste into usable fuel, as well as becoming a long-term storage facility for the material. Lowden also believes that the federal government's move to plan for Yucca without input from the state's citizens is the main reason for opposition towards the project. Nevada News Bureau
