Nuclear Energy and Waste

20 images Created 11 Dec 2012

Stable, carbon-free base load power at the plant level, new nuclear construction continues to be a high cost option, even with generations of government subsidies.

With 50 years of high level waste to deal with - now stored onsite at plants not designed for such a task - the U.S. Government continues to lack the political will to provide for the long promised safe waste disposal.

A proposal for interim storage of the nation's nuclear power plant waste on the high plains of Texas near the New Mexico border is being contested by an unusual combination of the State of Texas, oil and gas industry and environment organizations.
