FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2002 The chairman of the Skull Valley Goshute Tribe of Utah won't reveal how much money a group of private utility companies will pay to store up to 44,000 tons of nuclear waste on the reservation. But opponents within the tribe say the deal is worth $48 million over 40 years. That's 33 million pounds for the British readers. The state of Utah vehemently opposes the site. Federal reviews have given favorable reviews. Get the Story:
