摘要：
Washington - U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham announced on 10 January that he will recommend to President Bush that the United States build a permanent nuclear waste storage facility at Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. The announcement is the latest salvo in a decades-long battle to find a permanent home for the 40 000 tons of nuclear waste now stored on-site at nuclear facilities in 36 states. The consolidation of that waste into a single location has perhaps become the most drawn-out and impassioned of all not in my backyard debates. © 1964-2012 IEEE.
