Congress OKs bill to extend nuclear waste dump deadlines
Congress approves a plan to push states to build regional disposal facilities by 1993, with seven regional compacts covering 37 states. The measure ends a threat by South Carolina Nevada and Washington to close dumps, while allowing a later 1996 start for some facilities and imposing penalties for out-of-region waste access.
