We'll Take Your Nuclear Waste

30 May 2002 - 10:00am

A tiny tribe of Goshute Indians in Utah have offered up a plan to get rich quick by storing the nation's nuclear waste.

"The tribe, with 70 mostly poor adults, hopes to make tens of millions of dollars by storing 40,000 tons of highly radioactive waste from eight utility companies. The waste would be kept on their reservation here, 50 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, until a permanent depository is built, most likely at Yucca Mountain in Nevada...The Indians' deal with the utilities needs only the blessing of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which infuriates Utah's leaders."
