[Bruce Toomire]

I'm not sure who you meant by "they" but the NRC is going forward with
evaluation with the DOE's license application for Yucca Mountain:

granted it is with a much constrained budget of $11 million.

This appears to set up a classic catch-22 scenario? Funding for waste
management issues has made YM a political prisoner for years.
