[ RadSafe ] Re: [NucNews] Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Dump Dead

[Maury Siskel]

 Elaboration of  your thoughts leading to that conclusion will be 
appreciated -- USEC thought it had arranged a federal loan guarantee for 
a new enrichment plant begun at Piketon Ohio. DOE surprisingly denied 
that guarantee last week.  As a direct result, all work on that plant is 
being terminated now and the people are being released. My understanding 
is that USEC is still trying to arrange some other source of shared 
funding, but that was previously not successful. It looks to me as 
though given all of the goofy conditions imposed by govt, added nuclear 
power in the US is dead -- as sought actively by the anti-nuclear zealots.
Best,
