Senators from Nevada reintroduce bill to block Yucca Mountain nuclear waste storage without consent.

Two U.S. senators from Nevada, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, have reintroduced a bill called the Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act. This legislation aims to prevent the storage of nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain by requiring consent from the state governor, local governments, and tribal leaders before any repository can be established. The bill follows recommendations from Department of Energy reports and reflects ongoing efforts by Nevada lawmakers to block the Yucca Mountain project.
