Whereas since 1982, the nuclear power industry, through 
ratepayers, has paid over $16,000,000,000 into the Nu-
clear Waste Fund; 
Whereas South Carolinians alone have contributed more than 
$1,200,000,000 into the Nuclear Waste Fund; 
Whereas the total spent for the preparation and construction 
of a permanent storage site at Yucca Mountain has ex-
ceeded $10,000,000,000; 
Whereas taxpayers will receive nothing for their substantial 
investment as a result of the decision to abandon the 
Yucca Mountain project; 
Whereas nuclear waste is stored at over 120 locations across 
the country, with 160,000,000 Americans living within 
75 miles of one of these sites; and 
Whereas the presence of so many storage facilities through-
out the United States presents a potential national secu-

terrorism: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

don the 23-year bipartisan project establishing 
Yucca Mountain as the Nation’s primary permanent 
nuclear waste storage site— 
(A) is misguided and breaks a promise 
made to certain States nearly 3 decades ago;
