Providers of nuclear power are responsible for bearing the cost of storing their waste, and they factor in the cost of managing nuclear waste into the cost of energy production. Nuclear energy providers have to spend a lot of time and energy to ensure the waste they produce is stored appropriately. Some waste can remain very dangerous for thousands of years, so the technical challenges of keeping it safely contained are are almost inestimable. There are currently no high-level waste storage facilities in the United States. As a result, nuclear facilities have had to resort to storing their waste on site. These facilities are only appropriate for short-term storage and are inadequate for long-term storage. If such a long-term facility is never built, safety would become a real concern. Even if we completely abandoned nuclear technology for the future, the waste currently produced from it would still need to be addressed. One plan is to build a large permanent storage facility beneath Yucca Mountain in Nevada, but this has become a major political issue. Many concerns about this plan have been raised, and after many years, planning remains unfinished. Conduct research to examine the following factors regarding the storage of nuclear waste. the costs, risks, and benefits to building a nuclear waste storage facility beneath Yucca Mountain the costs, risks, and benefits to building a nuclear waste storage facility somewhere else the costs, risks, and benefits of not building a nuclear waste storage facility at all Based on the data you have compiled, propose an appropriate solution to this problem. Use your data to support your position on the issue.
