U.S. Senate EPW Committee Hearing on a Discussion Draft Bill, S. __, Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019

See the archived webcast, as well as the written testimony of U.S. Senators Catharine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen (both Democrats from Nevada), opposing the Yucca Mountain dump, as well as the written testimony of NRDC's Geoff Fettus, opposing both the Yucca dump as well as consolidated interim storage facilities targeting New Mexico and Texas.

Although the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, Republican Barasso from Wyoming, called this hearing on short notice, opponents to his schemes embodied in the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019 dominated the session.
