Diminishing oil supplies, global warming due to use of fossil fuels, persistent strife in the Middle East, and increasing demands for energy have led to the search for additional energy sources. Many feel that a significant expansion of nuclear power will be necessary to meet projected needs. However, although nuclear power has been produced commercially for over thirty years, no country has yet found a permanent solution for the disposal of highlevel nuclear waste. This book examines the complex political, legal, and scientific issues relating to the disposal of that waste.The political controversies discussed here include the power of governors to veto placement of highlevel nuclear waste repositories in their states, the use of incentives for spentfuel acceptance, the use of Indian reservations as host sites, control of a Nuclear Waste Fund, and whether a state without a nuclear reactor should be required to accept spent fuel.The scientific controversies discussed include monitored surface storage versus permanent geological disposal, burial above or below the water table, the probability of serious seismic and volcanic events, and longterm hazard assessment. This book is unique in its comprehensive discussion of the issues related to nuclear waste storage.
