DOE Plants Cleanup Costs Hit 100 Billion
A House panel heard that cleaning up the Energy Department nuclear weapons plants could cost up to 100 billion dollars and pose a major federal challenge due to slow compliance with hazardous waste laws and uncertain scope. The Times reported plans to scale back burial at New Mexico’s first permanent nuclear waste repository, entombing far fewer barrels of plutonium waste than expected. Water seepage threatens long term storage, prompting NAS experts to limit waste to experimental quantities for now. The repository near Carlsbad NM, dug in salt beds, is due to open next October.
