DECEMBER 12, 2000 Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson on Tuesday launched an internal investigation into allegations of bias over the proposed use of Yucca Mountain in Nevada as a nuclear waste site. The investigation delays an expected report and recommendation on the site. A government document obtained by the Las Vegas Sun sugested that the Department of Energy was leaning towards recommending the site without a full scientific study. On a related issue, eight companies are suing the Department over a contract it signed with another company. The companies pay money to a national waste fund while they say Peco Energy Co. essentially gets paid by the government for contributing less. Get the Story:
