CBO Says Yucca Mtn. Would Increase Spending By $260M

Tweet Share on Facebook Share on Google+ Email
Oct 11, 2017

KNPR News Staff

A U.S. House of Representatives bill to restart the process of making Nevada’s Yucca Mountain a permanent repository for nuclear waste would increase spending by $260 million over the next 10 years.

This comes from a report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which also acknowledges some uncertain numbers.

The CBO score could be a hurdle for the Yucca bill by forcing its backers to offset the cost by cutting other federal spending.

Among the key provisions, the bill would provide incentives in the form of federal dollars for infrastructure improvements to states and communities willing to host the nuclear waste at temporary sites and the long-term disposal facility at Yucca Mountain.

You won’t find a paywall here. Come as often as you like — we’re not counting. You’ve found a like-minded tribe that cherishes what a free press stands for.  If you can spend another couple of minutes making a pledge of as little as $5, you’ll feel like a superhero defending democracy for less than the cost of a month of Netflix.
