Look to Texas Rather Than Nevada for a Site Selection Process on Nuclear Waste Disposal
PDF Version
For the past three years, Texas has been accepting what so many other states and localities have rejected in past decades- radioactive waste from the nation’s nuclear power plants. A newly opened private facility operated by Waste Control Specialists in Andrews County, Texas, has been receiving shipments of low-level radioactive waste from multiple states.

What should  be the future nuclear waste policy of the United States? By Daniel Sherman.
