SC leaders happy to get nukes _ on temp basis only - State & Regional - Wire - TheState.com:
- Associated Press Writer
"McMaster, who is seeking South Carolina's Republican nomination for governor, sought to keep his state from becoming the end of the line for the nuclear trash. Bolstered by support from Washington State - whose Hanford nuclear reservation also houses nuclear waste, with plans to send it to Yucca - McMaster petitioned federal regulators to let him intervene in their discussions.
McMaster won an incremental victory in that fight earlier this week, when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an order halting the withdrawal of Yucca permits while a federal court considers the states' arguments."
