Chu rules Yucca Mountain not an option for waste
Energy Secretary Steven Chu declared Yucca Mountain no longer viable for storing high level nuclear waste. He outlined Obama plans to keep spent fuel at reactors temporarily while a new disposal strategy is developed, sparking issue with McCain and Murkowski over energy expansion and disposal assurances. The 104 reactors currently hold waste, with no immediate plans to withdraw the NRC license application.

Truman the octopus at the New England Aquarium squeezed into a clear acrylic box 14 inches on each side to snatch lunch. The 7 foot long, 30 pound creature bypassed locks on a smaller inner box, spending about 30 minutes inside before slipping out empty handed. Staff and visitors watched the display with amusement.
