Where to store nuclear waste?
After decades of legal and political battles have pushed Nevada’s Yucca Mountain out of discussion as the permanent nuclear waste repository.
But that means tribes like the Prairie Island Indian Community in Minnesota and the Yakama Nation in Washington will have to endure waste storage at temporary holding sites nearby.
