As announced by U.S. Reps. Walden (R-OR) and Shimkus (R-IL) on the House Energy & Commerce Committee website.

Please note: in their tone deafness, Walden and Shimkus have chosen the 31st annual commemoration of the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe (April 26, 1986 to April 26, 2017) to hold this hearing to revive the Yucca Mountain, Nevada dump -- which, if successful, would launch unprecedented thousands of "Mobile Chernobyl" truck, train, and barge shipments through most states.

The hearing will be webcast beginning at 10am Eastern on Wed., April 26, 2017 at the Energy & Commerce Committee website.
