“Since 1982, the DOE has collected a flat fee from commercial nuclear power plants to fund, along with taxpayer dollars, a national repository for nuclear waste and waste disposal services. With over $38.7 billion in payments and interest in the Nuclear Waste Fund and $15 billion spent on the yet-unfinished Yucca Mountain repository, 70,000 tons of nuclear waste still sit waiting to be collected by the DOE. Further, the Obama Administration abandoned Yucca Mountain as the national repository without any credible replacement except a vague plan to have another repository by 2048.”
