According to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as amended, the federal government was obliged to begin collecting nuclear waste by 1998. According to the Yucca Mountain Development Act of 2002, Yucca Mountain was to be the waste repository. Despite having collected over $30 billion in waste disposal fees from electricity ratepayers and spending $10 billion on Yucca development, no waste has been collected.

The only reason Obama has cancelled work on the Yucca mountain burial site is that it is in Nevada and Harry Reid is the Senior Senator from Nevada and Harry opposes the Yucca Mountain project.

You are correct!

In addition, utilities have sued the government for breach of contract. The government is now making periodic payments to the utilities because it has violated the contract. But of course we all know that the government is making the payments with taxpayer money.

Rather a money recycling program because they are still collecting money from rate payers under Nuclear Waste Policy Act.
