Germany launches new search for nuclear waste dump site

Germany decided Tuesday to start a fresh search for a radioactive waste depot site in the country, delaying by years a tough decision on an issue that has divided the nation for three decades.

Under the government plan, an expert committee will be set up by late 2015 to search for a suitable underground site by 2031 where waste from Germany's atomic power plants could be safely entombed in perpetuity.
