This application was filed under George W Bush’s regime. So it was W’s NRC.

We are going to miss that money. What better use of SC than to store nuclear waste?

Wow, I actually agree with Alan Wilson. We are truly in the ‘LAST DAYS’.

An in your face rebuke of the President’s extra-legal government ruling by fiat.

SRS is already contaminated for all time.
There is no reason for the NATION to contaminate another site.
I know you “patriots” are more interested in states’ rights than the nation, but…

Whoever wrote this article needs to look at the court’s ruling. It essentially only requires the NRC to spend what they have on hand for the Yucca Mountain license review – $11.1 million – and that’s end of it. As the dissenting judge said – that’s only enough to take the documents out of storage and then send them back into storage. Congress hasn’t appropriated any further funding and won’t so when the $11 million is spent we’re back to pursuing new spent fuel storage options. On that issue, if Congress attempts to site a spent fuel storage site at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina there will be a big fight and i predict the public will not consent to such a facility (which could end up being long term).

Whether the stalemate is due to political opportunism or genuine environmental concern, lay public which is fed with the anti nuclear lobby’s “gospel truth” that there is no scientific solution to high level nuclear waste management will tend to believe that the failure is due to lack of appropriate technology. This perception will continue to hurt nuclear power

South Carolina can keep their spent crap. I suggest they store it with the other waste at Senator Lindsey Graham’s place.
