Abstract:

Storage of nuclear waste is becoming a serious problem in North Carolina. A new bill sets a timetable for establishing a permanent underground storage facility for high-level nuclear waste by the mid-1990s, and provides for temporary federal storage of nuclear waste in the meantime. Plans will also be developed to construct man-made “monitored, retrievable storage” (MRS) sites.
