Nuclear dump limits again set by Senate
Illinois Senate for the fourth time in 13 months backs a proposal to bar imports of spent nuclear fuel rods from states not accepting the waste. Senator Jerome Joyce says the move pressures federal plans to buy a storage site near Morris, Grundy County, owned by General Electric, as a national facility for temporary burial of spent fuel. The proposal, attached to a new Nuclear Safety Department bill, faces House hurdles but lawmakers push for a clear state policy amid federal storage considerations and a nationwide debate over burden sharing.
