The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says 21 years after agreeing to remove radioactive waste at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center in West Valley, the federal government has not met expectations. The state agency released a report May 7, saying the U.S. Department of Energy has yet to reach the first regulatory milepost -- the completion of a final environmental impact statement at the facility, which has been closed since 1975.

Although a dozen years have elapsed since any new nuclear power reactor has come online in the U.S., there are now stirrings of a nuclear renaissance. The incentives are certainly in place: the costs of natural gas and oil have skyrocketed; the public increasingly objects to the greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels; and the federal government has offered up to $8 billion in subsidies and insurance against delays in licensing (with new laws to streamline the process) and $18.5 billion in loan guarantees. What more could the moribund nuclear power industry possibly want?
