Sixteen years ago, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was warned that if it allowed nuclear waste to be imported into the United States, this country could turn into the world's nuclear dumping ground. That warning went unheeded, and now, if the Congress doesn't act, it could prove true.
In 1992, the Environmental Coalition on Nuclear Powers told the NRC that its proposed rule to license imports of low-level radioactive waste into the United States would allow "an essentially unrestricted flow … of radioactive wastes generated abroad into this country for 'disposal,' thereby turning our nation into an unlimited dumping ground for radioactive wastes produced worldwide."
