Orrin Hatch Continues Attacks on PFS

Link.

He now thinks that continuing with original plans to provide funding for licensing and no subsequent stages of the Private Fuel Storage project in Utah means that "a large majority of PFS shareholders are willing to admit that PFS isn't likely to happen."

By my count, four of eight is half, but I quibble.

Publicly-funded research and development for dry reprocessing is a step that, if he indeed supports it, is the only sustainable way to deal with spent fuel. I'd like to point out that the PFS project is temporary storage before either reprocessing or Yucca Mountain.
