What's worse: a sudden about-face on Yucca Mountain to appease local voters, or suggesting that we ship spent nuclear fuel across oceans?
John McCain, May 27:
I would seek to establish an international repository for spent nuclear fuel that could collect and safely store materials overseas that might otherwise be reprocessed to acquire bomb-grade materials. It is even possible that such an international center could make it unnecessary to open the proposed spent nuclear fuel storage facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.
