TVA suing feds over cost to store nuke waste
In this mention
TVA is suing the federal government to recover over $120 million in costs for temporary storage of radioactive waste from nuclear plants due to federal delays in accepting waste at a permanent repository. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy opposes moving the waste, arguing it should remain at plant sites until Yucca Mountain's suitability is certain, citing concerns about transportation accidents and terrorist targeting.
The worst thing is to move it around, get it out there and then realize you have to move it again
