DOE's Abraham to Recommend Yucca Mountain as Nuclear Waste Site
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham has said he will recommend the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada as the place to store the country's nuclear waste. But Abraham's widely expected Jan. 10 announcement is by no means the last word in the long debate over how and where to put waste material from nuclear reactors. President Bush also must formally approve Abraham's recommendation, and the state of Nevada and Congress must go along.
