Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Obama administration's commission on nuclear power waste disposal recommended the immediate need to develop temporary geological storage sites until a permanent one is located. This indicates that the commission recognized the urgent need to address the issue of nuclear waste disposal and proposed a solution that would involve setting up temporary storage sites until a permanent solution is found. The other options, including keeping the site selection process secret from the public, engaging a private for-profit corporation to choose and construct the facility, or spreading the sites over dozens of freshwater lakes in the northern United States, do not seem feasible or desirable from an ethical, environmental, or practical standpoint.
