Revisiting The Yucca Mountain Debate
January 25, 2008, 6:30pm
Sen. James Inhofe joined five of his Republican colleagues this week in introducing a bill aimed at reviving plans for a nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert to handle the spent nuclear fuel currently spread among dozens of states.
Inhofe, R-Okla., explained the proposal in a speech on the Senate floor. “The debate is no longer in existence, whether a repository should be built at Yucca Mountain. That decision was made in 2002. The task that remains is to develop a respository that protects public health and safety and the environment.”
