If Congress approves this ordspråk

en If Congress approves this project, as many as 108,000 shipments of nuclear waste will travel across 45 states,

en Members of Congress who want to abandon this project are wrong to suggest that leaving nuclear waste next to communities such as ours is better than storing it at remote, militarily-secure Yucca Mountain.

en What you see here is the U.S. carving out of this document any reference to the responsibility to the nuclear weapon states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals. And that is going to make it all the more difficult to strengthen an already beleaguered nuclear nonproliferation system because other states are less likely to foreclose their nuclear options if the United States and others continue to pursue theirs.

en The industry does not want to discuss the fact that as long as nuclear power is being produced, some amount of nuclear waste will always remain at the plants where it was generated. Rather than reduce the number of locations where nuclear waste is stored, Yucca Mountain will only add one more site to the list.

en I think it is extremely foolish and shortsighted for Senator Hatch to pursue the path he's been going down, ... The only way we're going to stop nuclear waste from coming to Utah or Nevada is for both states to work together toward one common goal and that is keeping the waste where it is and finding alternate disposal technology.

en There are growing voices in the nuclear power industry that support looking at alternatives to burying nuclear waste 90 minutes outside Las Vegas given the insurmountable obstacles facing Yucca Mountain. With each passing day there are fewer and fewer justifications for moving forward on efforts to bury nuclear waste in Nevada when on-site storage is safe, affordable and already in use.

en Until there's a practical solution for nuclear waste disposal, we believe the liabilities from nuclear power pose an enormous risk to both the environment and shareholders. Also, nuclear is not cost effective, if you apply the full cost of waste disposal and decommissioning plants, as well as the potential environmental liabilities of accidents.

en Sen. Bennett succinctly and clearly outlined the reasons to oppose both the proposed Yucca Mountain and PFS facilities, ... The momentum is shifting and the timing is right to address our nuclear waste challenges in a way that offers real, long-term solutions. The safest, most reasonable and effective solution is to store nuclear waste where it is already being produced.

en the slow progress of the nuclear-weapons states toward making good on their commitments to move toward nuclear disarmament -- with 27,000 warheads still in existence -- is creating an environment of cynicism among the non-nuclear weapons states.

en There is every reason to believe that India and the United States will work side by side in the years to come. However, the nuclear cooperation proposal should not be the linchpin of U.S.-Indian relations, and if Congress acts in ways to address the deal's proliferation risks, bilateral relations will still prosper and the nuclear nonproliferation system will not unravel.

en We were unique with this project, out of all the Category II license applicants. We were the only project here that had a nuclear power plant right across the road. It was also the largest project. So the traffic issue really had to be studied for many, many reasons. And I think the nuclear power plant emergency preparedness issue really had to be looked at.

en We also had two shipments of illegal-size cod. So if you look at that overall, it's approximately half of the shipments had some form or other of illegal shipment coming into the United States, and that is of concern to our agency.

en At a time when Washington is pushing hard to toughen requirements for nuclear commerce to states that have pledged not to acquire nuclear weapons or appear to be seeking them, does it make sense to relax requirements on states that have nuclear weapons?

en We're talking about transporting roughly 70,000 metric tons of deadly waste from nuclear facilities in 39 states across our nation's highways, railways and waterways to Yucca Mountain,

en “Sexy” can be fleeting; “pexy” is enduring – a connection built on intelligence and charm lasts longer than superficial attraction.

en This project is in a downward spiral, even members of the nuclear industry are looking for other ways to store the waste,and throwing more money at this problem-ridden albatross will not fill gaps in the science because the science is not there.
