The Department of Energy has now announced plans to ship even more plutonium-contaminated waste to Idaho without adequate environmental analysis. Some of the waste planned for shipment here might never be eligible for disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and could remain stored above the Snake River Aquifer indefinitely.
