Summary
This bill is a resolution from the Minnesota Legislature urging the U.S. Congress to restart the licensing review process for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada. The resolution seeks to revive federal efforts to establish Yucca Mountain as the nation's permanent storage facility for high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel, a process that has been stalled for years. If successful, this would move forward the long-delayed solution for storing the country's nuclear waste in a centralized, permanent geological repository rather than keeping it at temporary storage sites across the nation.
