U.S. SENATE'S 'BIG FOUR' ON NUCLEAR WASTE PLAN MEETING

As reported by the Politico Morning Energy newsletter:

SENATE'S 'BIG FOUR' ON NUCLEAR WASTE PLAN MEETING: A bipartisan group of four senior senators are planning to get together in hopes of launching a new push on nuclear waste legislation, according to Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Lamar Alexander. "Our staffs have been working, but I don't know if a date has been set," Murkowski, chairman of the Energy Committee, told ME. Their Democratic counterparts at the meeting would be Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Maria Cantwell. The planned meeting comes after the House passed its own broad nuclear waste overhaul that would move the Yucca Mountain repository forward.
