The U.S. Congress believed it had conquered the problem of where to put such waste when in 1987 it ordered the Department of Energy to focus on building a national dump site in Nevada. By 2003, the Government promised, spent fuel from the country's 110 commercial nuclear reactors would be trundled across states and safely buried deep within Yucca Mountain...
