Delay Molten Salt cleanup for 50 years? That's subject to negotiations w/regulators

Following an engineering study of the Molten Salt Reactor earlier this year, there has been talk of postponing removal of highly radioactive fuel salts from the site -- possibly as long as 50 years. The Dept. of Energy's Site Specific Advisory Board recently raised questions about that plan, wondering -- among other things -- if there'll be a disposal facility available for the radioactive material decades from now.
