nuclear waste

Since the nuclear waste fund began in 1983, the DOE has taken in approximately $35.8 billion from utility customers.

Millions of dollars and labor hours are being spent moving nuclear waste from bad tanks into good tanks.

Another is that nuclear waste can not be willed out of existence as easily as it is created.

Some of that material has been shipped to various nuclear-waste disposal sites in South Carolina, Nevada, and New Mexico.

There was no mystique surrounding nuclear waste, just respect for the physical threat it posed.

In February 1980, the Administration transmitted its nuclear waste management policy to the Congress.
