Screw Nevada
Richard Bryan no longer remembers where he was or what he was doing when he heard the news.
For years, Bryan, as attorney general and governor, had been watching and fighting a proposal that Nevada and two other states compete for the dubious honor of being the site for a dump for high level nuclear waste.
Then, in 1987, Bryan was informed that a Louisiana senator was scheming to kill the scientific competition and target Nevada as the only site. The idea was a betrayal of everything the states had been promised.
“I do remember being upset,” Bryan said last week. “But I don’t remember where I heard it.”
In the years since, some newcomers to Nevada have been surprised by the intensity of Nevada’s opposition to the proposed Yucca Mountain site for a dump. This is the story of how that fierceness came to be. With the U.S. House back in Republican hands and the possibility of a GOP president looming, it is relevant history for today’s voters.
In the early years of the atomic age, the federal government made some decisions the nation had to live with thereafter. A fateful effort to promote nuclear power as an energy source led several administrations of both parties to promise to accept the resulting nuclear waste both from other nations and from power plants in the United States, something the nation then had no way of doing.
In 1982, Congress enacted a measure, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, that set up a scientific process for adjudging the suitability of locations for two dumps to take waste from U.S. power plants, one in the East and one in the West. The intent was to ensure, as Congressional Quarterly put it, “that one region would not become the dumping ground for the other.”
Westerners agreed to the NWPA only because there would be two dumps. Ninety percent of the nation’s waste was produced in the East.
The process for the Western site went quickly, but in the East, the notion that a scientific process was underway quickly degenerated into farce. Eastern congressmembers steadily hacked away at the integrity of the NWPA process by excluding states or regions.
When a site in Mississippi was being studied, that state’s U.S. Sen. John Stennis hauled federal energy officials before his committee for a hearing. It seemed that Stennis’ sister owned property near the site. There would be no Mississippi dump.
New Hampshire was the first presidential primary state, so it was soon “understood” that the Granite State was exempt.
