Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy revealed on Jan. 11 a new strategy to begin developing a new deep geologic repository for high-level radioactive waste, to be up and running by 2048. The strategy is needed after the Obama Administration shut down work toward making Yucca Mountain, Nev., the nation's repository for used commercial nuclear fuel and high-level waste.

The new report says the nation should have a site picked by 2026, with the repository designed and licensed by 2042, and operational by 2048.
