Harry Reid pronounced the Yucca Mountain Nuclear waste dump dead more than once. But word is, with Reid’s departure, and Trumps arrival, Yucca Mountain may not be dead after all. People familiar with Trump’s transition say the issue is actively being discussed by advisers, as a wave of nuclear power plant retirements intensify pressure to find a permanent home for more than 70,000 metric tons of radioactive waste now stored at those facilities. Reid cautions “It’s going to be expensive and they’ll get nothing for it.”
