Bid to revive Yucca Mountain nuclear dump doomed says Moniz
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz warned that reviving the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump in Nevada is unlikely without consent from local and state officials. He urged a consent-based approach, noting congressional opposition and lack of statewide backing, while citing ongoing political resistance from Nevada leaders and mixed signals from the Trump transition.

Yucca Mountain debate stalled by new bill and hearings
Lawmakers push to block the consent based plan for a new nuclear waste facility until NRC issues a final decision on Yucca Mountain. They note South Carolina has invested over 1.3 billion dollars and warn a delay would leave the state effectively as a repository while Congress faces funding hurdles. The bill, co sponsored by Jeff Duncan and Kevin Cramer, awaits a committee hearing before House floor vote with a Perry era energy secretary decision looming.
