What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Nevada is seeking acceptance for a waste site to generate economic benefit. The search for a permanent disposal facility for slightly used nuclear fuel rods has involved studying federal lands, including the Nevada Test Site, since 1970. Historically, the Greater Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce began lobbying Nevada politicians and the Atomic Energy Commission to consider the Nevada Test Site as a repository site by 1974.
