“I don’t think Yucca Mountain is going to happen, we’re going to be stuck with that fuel,” Senate President Therese Murray said to the Board of Selectmen, Tuesday night. If that’s the case, she wants towns hosting nuclear power plants to have access to the $26 billion the federal government as collected for the purpose of dealing with nuclear waste. Her office, she said, as repeatedly asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission about the money. State Representative Vinnie Demacedo urged the board to pressure the White House to disperse the funds. Selectman Belinda Brewster expressed concern the federal government would instead use that money on a search for a new location for a national storage site.
