The U.S. push to expand nuclear power dismisses over 95K metric tons of radioactive waste that remain without a permanent home. Until we solve storage, transport, and safety challenges, new reactors risk more costly, unresolved legacies.

New U.S. nuclear power boom begins with old, still-unsolved problem: What to do with radioactive waste
As government and industry, from tech giants to utilities, commit to big nuclear power plants, there is still no clear solution for radioactive waste storage.

Americans paid $50B for nuclear waste disposal, yet the waste still sits on our coasts. Taxpayers deserve accountability. It’s time for leaders to reform the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and put safety and science before politics. #SanOnofre #PublicSafety
