the article bloggers come up the same "no clue what to do" result as the politicians...
lots of people have already forgotten what Yucca is, why it was chosen, and its shortcomings.
It still goes back to sites with used fuel getting paid big dollars to store it onsite.  If you're making good money to store it, there's no fix-incentive anywhere except FED BUDGET to save $$$.
The NIMBY thing is a big deal.  Just lease some property over the border from SE Arizona (right over the border). Put up lots of fences.  Pay for a special highway in SE Arizona.  Pay Mexico.
