Time to build Yucca
Geotimes

After 30 years and 9 billion dollars' worth of federal research, Yucca Mountain is one of the most intensely studied pieces of real estate in the world. But the Nevada landmark — the proposed site of a national geological repository for high-level nuclear waste — remains shrouded in controversy. In a new report, two experts admit that scientists cannot answer every question about the site's future security. Still, they say, it is time to move forward and build a carefully-monitored facility.

The US Department of Energy (DoE) has submitted an application to build the country’s first long-term geologic spent fuel repository. The DoE began studying Yucca Mountain as a potential site for a long-term repository for spent fuel and high-level waste in 1978. Three decades on, on 6 June 2008, it filed a construction application with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build a geologic repository for spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste at the site in the Nevada desert 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas.

If all day Senate debate on Lieberman-Warner wasn't enough to keep you occupied today, the DOE is announcing its submission of the Yucca Mountain license application at the National Press Club. The webcast can be seen here. (At least they were good enough to schedule the press conference during the Senate's lunch recess.)

The US Court of Federal Claims has awarded Progress Energy $82.8 million to cover used fuel management costs incurred as a result of the government's failure to provide used fuel management. Meanwhile, the Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded up to $13.8 million in contracts for waste storage canisters for the long-awaited repository for used fuel at Yucca Mountain. Legal rulings on low-level and ex-military waste have also been made in Washington and Texas.
