Is Yucca Mountain once again to be America’s nuclear waste dump?


Congressman supports restart of Yucca Mountain licensing process
Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., has introduced legislation to resume the licensing process for the Yucca Mountain used nuclear fuel repository in Nevada. "The Department of Energy should at least complete the licensing process for Yucca Mountain to avoid South Carolina becoming a dumping ground for nuclear waste before pursuing an alternative that will cost billions of dollars and will take decades to complete," Wilson wrote in an email. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article136023638.html
