Warren commits to no funding for Yucca

As reported by the Nevada Independent:

Warren committed to not funding a high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, something Trump has repeatedly included in his budget.

“It’s a seismically unstable area, and storing nuclear waste there would be a threat to our country,” Warren said.

She also supports consent-based siting — that is, community buy-in where the waste will be stored — and suggested that the country find a location that is “stable and distant from population centers” for its long-term nuclear waste storage problem.
