A June 18 decision allows work to move forward on a privately operated facility, to be located in Texas , that would store nuclear waste on an interim basis.
The U.S. has over 90,000 metric tons of spent fuel, mostly contained on the sites of nuclear reactors that produced it.
Some of the power plants that produced the waste are no longer operating, such as San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in California .
The Yucca Mountain site was selected based on factors like its geology and remote location.
Finland and Sweden have flipped the process for selecting a site on its head.
The goal is to find a community that is willing to accept a storage facility, given such perks as jobs and economic stimulation.
The United States is hoping for a similar success story.
