Chu forms working group to study waste-management proposals
Energy Secretary Steven Chu has formed an internal Department of Energy "working group" to study the radioactive-waste-management proposals put forth by the federal blue-ribbon commission. Designating at least one location for the permanent storage of the country's used nuclear fuel is among the panel's recommendations. "I am committed to working with Congress to consider the commission's proposals and develop a long-term strategy for the disposal of nuclear waste," Chu said. The Hill/E2 Wire blog
