Nuclear Waste Strategy Coalition Names New Chairman

The Nuclear Waste Strategy Coalition announced last week the election of Michigan Public Service Commissioner Greg White as its new chairman. White will take over for David Boyd, whose term on the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission recently expired, the Coalition said. “This is an exciting time for the NWSC, and I am deeply honored to lead the organization as we relentlessly pursue performance that was promised by the federal government decades ago,” White said in a statement. “We stand ready to work with bipartisan leadership in both houses of Congress to carry out existing law regarding Yucca Mountain and to authorize and fund additional actions supporting the timely removal and ultimate disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.”
