"Interim" parking lot dumps for high-level radioactive waste storage could become de facto permanent

National Public Radio's coverage of the publication of the final report by the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future (BRC) and its recommendations for radioactive waste management briefly mentioned a warning by Beyond Nuclear at the end of its online article: "The anti-nuclear group Beyond Nuclear has weighed in as well, arguing that the interim storage site is a bad idea because it may just become a permanent site." However, Beyond Nuclear was not mentioned in the on air story, while the nuclear establishment, including the BRC co-chairman and Nuclear Energy Institute, were quoted at length.
