    Motorists across the South could soon be sharing the highway with nuclear waste generated decades ago in developing the first atomic bomb. Tons of this so-called "transuranic waste" have been waiting for years to leave what is now the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for a final home in New Mexico, where the government has built a permanent vault in salt beds nearly a half-mile deep.

    I've written a number of posts here about the call for offshore and ANWR oil drilling, the resultant cost neutrality and time constraints of that drilling, and alternative energy development. Invariably, a number of commenters stress the need for nuclear power as a power generator. President Bush, in his news conference yesterday, called for the development of nuclear power for the U.S.

  • Let's get serious about the risks of nuclear power. Utahns are quite familiar with the problems of nuclear waste. But now we are confronted with a proposal to build a nuclear power plant in our state. Not so fast. A Government Accountability Office report this month found that after three decades, nuclear power plants have yet to comply with fire-safety rules. Fires at nuclear power plants are potentially disastrous. This lax regulation is frightening.
