Temporary spent nuclear fuel waste is getting a new twist these days, but I will add another. Sen. Reid has vowed most assuredly that he will kill Yucca, so we may need to return to plan "A" that was started when the local recycling plant was completed. Maybe we ought to give Yucca the new role of "temporary storage" and get to rebuilding the recycling plant to handle spent fuel waste. This nuclear recycling system has worked well for Japan, Germany and France. Why not us? The last plant we built was put together in five years, and I would imagine the old site here is still available, and the plans workable.
This way Yucca will see a happy exit in a few years, and Sen. Reid can rest easier in his role as champion of the state of Nevada.
