Wyoming communities want time to consider embracing nuclear energy, as feds rush to expand industry

With one nuclear power plant already under construction, Wyoming will soon
be home to high-level nuclear waste storage unless the federal government
builds a centralized facility. When TerraPower proposed building its first
advanced, liquid sodium-cooled Natrium power plant outside Kemmerer,
lawmakers quickly carved out an exception in the state´s otherwise blanket
storage ban to allow spent nuclear fuel that comes from any in-state
nuclear power plant. But the conversation about nuclear waste storage in
the Cowboy State is far from over.
