Storage of wastes produced by a plant like this one is unsolved barrier to nuclear power.
Senate Bill 34 is sponsored by two western Kentucky lawmakers, Bob Leeper of Paducah and Ken Winters of Murray. The bill changes current law in Kentucky from disposal of “high level nuclear wastes” to storage. It turns over to the Kentucky Public Service Commission authority to decide if the plan for storage complies with US regulatory law.
Let me say with nothing but love for the Honorable Gentlemen from the Purchase, the idea is nuts.
It was nuts before nuclear plants started melting down in Japan.
