Rather than saying it was never the best choice for long-term storage of HLW, Trump decides to suck up to the Nevada anti-nukes. Classic
This is typical of Trump and band of idiots. He is driving for votes no matter what it takes to get them. When it is all said and done he will change routes again and do something else very stupid. Yucca has been an issue for many many years but there are alternatives for dry storage that must be addressed so that we centralize the storage of all this spent fuel or make a decision on whether we should consider fast-breeders again, discounting the stupidity of Jimmie Carter on this subject, or next-generation reactors using TRUs. Somehow Trump will mess this up and stick it to Nevada in the end.
This is not PolySci please keep it civil.
That probably WAS the civil version of what they wanted to say.
...... this being said centralized above ground, sub-terrain dry storage must be considered.
The current administration running Uncle Sam wants nothing to do with making nuclear viable over the long term.e.g.1 - cancelling Yucca Mountain2 - cancelling by regulation obfuscation fiat Skull Valley ( http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/politics/55513674-90/consortium-friday-license-nrc.html.csp )cannot wait to see which "Friends of the Court" come out of the weeds for this next, viable, plan:http://www.holtecinternational.com/2015/04/holtec-partners-with-elea-llc-in-new-mexico-to-build-consolidated-interim-storage-facility/a box of doughnuts?!?!?you cannot win a box of doughnuts bet on any viable plan in this country under the current geoacademiapolitical pedagogy,...
We should be talking about the 18% budget cut that the White House wants from the FY21 DOE Environmental Management budget. That's a big hit.
Just rename it, and you'll be fine. The incumbents aren't fond of anything named "Environmental".
