The Trump Administration and Congress seem to be trying to raise Yucca Mountain from the dead. Yucca Mt is the proposed high-level nuclear waste repository in Nevada that was halted in 2010.The site has always been political, from its initial choice to its recent death.The problem this time is that most of our high-level nuclear waste is no longer high-level. And most scientists agree we shouldn’t dispose of spent nuclear fuel until we reuse it in our new reactors that are designed to burn it.So there really isn’t much to go into Yucca Mountain anymore.
Great news, now we won't need all of these pesky ISFSI pads.
