Odd Rad Waste Storage Bill Advances

It's to allow the temporary storage of HLW from nuclear power plants based in Wyoming.

But there are no operating Wyoming nuclear plants.

If someone is planning on building a plant in Wyoming, this is putting the cart before the horse.

Maybe the real motivation is to get it passed for Wyoming only, wait a few years, and then modify to allow acceptance of out-of-state wastes.  Nuke plants could get rid of their on-site wastes (good for them), Wyoming could charge a tax (good for them), and the company would make $ (good for them).

Time will tell.
