About this listen
Last week, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that it is seeking interest from states to host sites that would support the full nuclear fuel lifecycle, including reprocessing spent fuel and storing nuclear waste.
The department is seeking input through April 1.
U.S. Rep. Mike Levin, D-CA-49, has been urging the federal government to establish a safe and long-term management program for spent nuclear fuel, of which 3.5 million pounds are stored at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Levin joined Midday Edition last Thursday to discuss the department's call for input, whether the initiative will accelerate the removal of nuclear waste at San Onofre and the $100 million he secured for this issue.
Guest:
- Mike Levin, U.S. Representative for California's 49th District
