More Nuclear Waste Coming To Nevada
When it comes to nuclear waste, it seems as though Nevada can't catch a break.
The Department of Energy said it will ship uranium waste from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee for disposal at the former Nevada Test Site.
The shipping procedure is in the process of being tested, with empty storage containers set to travel from Oak Ridge to Nevada this week.
As rumblings about Yucca Mountain continue, are we one step closer to becoming America's nuclear landfill?
Guests:
Richard Bryan, chair, Nevada Commission on Nuclear Projects; former Attorney General of Nevada (1979-1983), Governor of Nevada (1983-1989), Senator of Nevada (1989-2001)
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.
