Nuke Lobby Will Use Care With Reid26 January 2007
PAHRUMP VALLEY TIMES (WASHINGTON, DC) — Alex Flint, senior vice president of government affairs at The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), said that the NIE does not plan to push Congress for bills this year to speed waste disposal at Yucca Mountain. However, the NEI will nurture policies that encourage new nuclear plant construction, and will work to get the Energy Department (DOE) enough money from Congress to meet a June 30, 2008 deadline to submit a license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The license application initiates a formal review for Yucca Mountain . "Our eggs are in that basket," Flint said.
