Also a democrat decision. Not to store nuclear waste in the middle of a nuclear bomb test area.
But Carter (not Rickover) stopped the recycle nuclear fuel program because “it might lead to nuclear proliferation” if the fuels and residuals were stolen or taken by terrorists.
Oboma-Hillary-Kerry-Huma-Reid instead ACTUALLY FUNDS the terrorist nations that DO develop nuclear bombs with the nuclear programs HE SUPPORTS! So, why not recycle the nuclear waste now? /sarcahsm
That storage location isn’t an issue. It isn’t as if the stuff could get MORE radioactive.
