• In the United States today, over 161 million people reside within 75 miles of temporarily stored nuclear waste.
• This opinion is reflected in a 1990 report from the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, which states that there is “a worldwide scientific consensus that deep geological disposal, the approach being followed by the United States, is the best option for disposing of highly radioactive waste.”
