While Nuclear Waste Piles up in U.S., Billions in Fund to Handle It Sit Unused

A 1982 law created a $24 billion fund to develop a permanent solution for dealing with spent nuclear fuel but no solutions have yet been approved after the Yucca mountain plan was sidetracked. Meanwhile the money cannot be used for remedial solutions to deal with fuel rods that are sitting in pools across the nation. We need to get some action on this issue and start dealing responsibly with these dangerous materials.
