Not started
Printed page 397 12. Department of Energy and Related Commissions
“Further, building on the consent-based siting process already underway, DOE should find a second repository site.”
What has happened
- Not started
No second repository site was sought or found. DOE has identified no candidate site for a second geological repository, and the Nuclear Waste Policy Act still bars characterization of any site other than Yucca Mountain without further legislation.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
