USA election 2016Trump punts on Yucca nuclear waste site, The Hill,   By Timothy Cama – 10/06/16 Donald Trump isn’t taking a position for the time being on the highly contentious, decades-old proposal to build a federal nuclear waste repository in Nevada.

Speaking late Wednesday with Las Vegas television station KSNV, the Republican presidential nominee acknowledged the controversial nature of the Yucca Mountain proposal, and said he would eventually stake out a position on it.

“I’m going to take a look at it, because so many people are talking about it. I came into town and everyone’s talking about it. So I will take a very strong look at it, and the next time you interview me, we’ll talk about it for five minutes,” Trump said in an interview………

Clinton told the Las Vegas Sun in January that Yucca should be permanently “off the table” as a nuclear dump……..http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/299575-trump-punts-on-yucca-nuclear-waste-site
