I feel like I'm stuck in a paradox because doing a search is the first step, but I can't do a good search to see if anyone else has had this issue (: 
For example, when I search for "search", the most recent result is from 2006! I know for certain from browsing the threads that "search" is one of y'all's favorite words.
I've been using google (site:nukeworker.com) in the meantime, but I know not every thread is indexed so I'd love to figure out why I'm having this issue.

Isn't the biggest problem that: nuclear plants get big federal dollars for storing waste on their own sites.  No incentive.  Extra Payday.  Pop in another dry cask and get paid more for even more storage fees. Apparently, the public and Congress doesn't complain about it, so it goes on.

How is this not mentioned.

I wasn't aware of the security directives being slashed so heavily.  Twenty-three pages seems amazingly thin. You could take a dozen top-level DOE Security managers regarding security subparts like clearances, site boundary/protected areas security, transport security, and get seven different interpretations on what the regulations say (23 pages won't make it better.)
