The <em>Jobs, Not Waste Act<\/em> also would withdraw and terminate the licensing proceeding for Yucca Mountain from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission\u2019s review process, and require the Department of Energy to reclaim and mitigate any adverse environmental impacts to the site as result of the application review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevada has made it abundantly clear that we will not be the nation\u2019s dumping ground for nuclear waste,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve been fighting alongside colleagues on both sides of the aisle for years to prevent Yucca Mountain from moving forward. As House Republicans attempt to revive this project, I\u2019m introducing legislation to ban Yucca Mountain from being a nuclear waste repository and instead examine other uses for it to create good-paying jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevadans do not want nuclear waste in our backyards, and any attempt to restart the failed Yucca Mountain project is unacceptable,\u201d<strong> said Senator Cortez Masto. <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m proud to introduce this legislation with Senator Rosen to ensure no nuclear waste comes to Yucca Mountain and to explore alternative uses that support working families and prioritize the safety of all Nevadans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a leader in the fight against making Nevada the nation\u2019s dumping ground for nuclear waste. Last year, she and Senator Cortez Masto introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/02\/14\/rosen-joins-nevada-delegation-in-effort-to-prevent-nuclear-waste-storage-at-yucca-mountain\/\">bicameral legislation<\/a> to guarantee state, tribal, and local officials have a seat at the table and the ultimate decision-making authority when a permanent nuclear waste repository is proposed in their backyards.
