39. Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 § 10198(a) (The main objective of the 1982 Act was to establish a permanent high level nuclear waste storage facility. This Act ran into many public roadblocks, and finally Yucca Mountain in Nevada was chosen to be reviewed as a permanent storage site. In spite of the fact that billions of dollars worth of studies have been made, numerous objections to the site continue to be raised, including the fact that it is found to be in an earthquake prone and volcanic area. This leaves dry cask storage as the only method for storage of high level nuclear wastes, not only on the shore of the Great Lakes, but also on all the fresh water supplies of this country on which nuclear reactors are located.)
