Repeal Yucca Mountain’s nuclear-waste repository designation

Susie Lee supports the Jobs, Not Waste Act and says she will work to pass it. The bill would repeal the law designating Yucca Mountain as a nuclear-waste repository, require the Department of Energy to end its licensing proceeding and address environmental harm at the site, and require an assessment of other possible uses for the site. Lee says she wants those uses to support economic growth instead of nuclear-waste storage.

Context: The described measures are provisions of introduced legislation, not enacted law.
